The 27 km road section connecting Rajapur-Geruwa, which should be completed within three years, has not been constructed even after five years.

As the road from Khairichandpur of Rajapur Municipality to the tourist center of Geruwa Rural Municipality, Okharia Dam, cannot be constructed, the locals are forced to suffer.

Kanchha Ram/Rajendra JV Construction Company of Dhangadhi-4 under the postal project, a contract was signed on 04 Chait 077 to be completed on 03 Oct 2080. So far, the physical progress of the said road has been only 26 percent. Similarly, the financial progress is also 26 percent, according to the postal project.

If the road has been blocked by spreading gravel, the municipality president Zaman Singh KC said that they had to suffer a lot as there were pits everywhere. "The company has piled mud and gravel on the road," he said. After the onset of rainy season, there is a risk of small vehicle accidents due to water freezing on the road.'

The contractor company that contracted the contract from the Post Office, Nepalgunj, failed to complete the work on time and extended the deadline twice. There was an agreement to complete the construction of the black road at a cost of 53 million 12 million 61 thousand. The employees complained that the company did not care even though they asked the company to complete the postal project quickly.

Lila Bahadur Bhandari, Head of Postal Highway Office, Nepalganj, said that due to the delay in road construction, he has written to the contractor company for the 31st time so far. "If the work continues at the same pace, the road will not be built even for a decade," he said, "Even after the deadline has been extended twice, the work has not gained speed." Despite the extension of the deadline, the work has not progressed. Chief Administrative Officer of Geruwa Rural Municipality Nar Bahadur Chand said that there is no dispute in road construction. 

"There are no obstacles in all areas including electricity, land," he said, "Not working in such a situation is extremely careless." Local Shankar Tharu said that the tourist arrival at the tourist center Okharia Intake has not increased due to lack of road construction. Construction businessman Bhim Bahadur Saud claimed to complete the work within the extended deadline. Locals say that there is no possibility that the road will be constructed even within the extended deadline.
