Nepali Congress leader and former Minister of Industry and Commerce Meen Bahadur Bishwakarma has constructed a building for community health unit with private investment.
Leader Vishwakarma built 'Tika-Bakhat Bhawan Community Building' in the memory of his late parents in the Barah Mandir complex located in Barahkshetra Municipality-1 of Sunsari. On Sunday, Deputy Prime Minister and Urban Development Minister Prakashman Singh inaugurated the building and handed it over to Barah Kshetra Municipality Mayor Ramesh Karki. The municipality will operate the services of the community health unit from that building.
Leader Vishwakarma, who is currently the head of the Central Communication and Information Technology Department of the Congress, built the building in memory of his late mother Tikamaya and late Bakht Bahadur. About 6 million rupees have been spent for the construction of the building.
Leader Vishwakarma said that the building was built with the aim of providing basic and emergency health services to the devotees and pilgrims who come to Barah Kshetra temple.
'After two years, the building has been constructed here and now the community health unit is operating. I hope that this will make it easy for the devotees who come to the temple and the local residents to get basic and emergency health services,' he said. While inaugurating the
building, Deputy Prime Minister Singh expressed his happiness that the building was constructed in the holy place of the temple area and now the health unit is going to be operational. He also praised the Vishwakarma family for the construction of the building.
On that occasion, the Barah Kshetra Guthi Management Committee also submitted a memorandum to Deputy Prime Minister Singh to save the endangered Barah area. They say that the Barahkshetra temple complex and the settlement itself are at risk due to the floods that occurred in the Saptakosi river last winter. The building also has a patient examination room, health workers accommodation, meeting hall and guest room.
