The bridge, constructed at a cost of Rs 46.5 million, will play an important role in connecting Sisuwa, Wala and Tamku areas with Khandbari market.
A 45-meter long concrete bridge at Sisuwakhola in Sankhuwasabha has been officially put into operation from Thursday. Although the construction was completed a month ago, the official inauguration was done by the Minister of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation Deepak Khadka on Thursday.
The bridge, which has been constructed at a cost of 4.65 million rupees, will connect Sisuwa, Wala and Tamku areas not only with each other, but also with Khandbari market. It is expected to facilitate movement from remote villages and also bring significant improvement in agricultural production and service delivery.
According to village head Bhupalraj Mewahang, with the construction of the bridge, the dangerous situation of having to cross Sisuwakhola has come to an end. "The local people can now move easily," he said, "the development of rural infrastructure will help raise the standard of living of the people." Now residents of settlements like Sisuwa, Tamku, Wala can easily travel to Khandbari.'
In May 2079, a contract was signed with Amber-Consulting Company. The rural municipality opened the contract in the budget of the union, province and rural municipality. After the construction of the bridge, 1 Sisuwa of Silichong and 2 of Bala Bharba Tamku will be connected.
