In the area where the Indian 'Koshi Colony' is located, it has been revealed that the road slope work was done by spending the budget of the Nepal government. In this colony located in Bishnupur rural municipality-6, Ranjitpur of Saptari, the road slope has been made by spending about 55 lakh rupees under the conditional grant of the federal government from the budget of the current financial year.

Under the plan that was mandated on February 12, the work of 450 meters of road slope was completed on May 15. According to the Koshi Agreement signed on 12th Baisakh 2011, India has constructed more than 70 housing units in the 'Koshi Colony', which houses the employees of the West Koshi Canal District, Kunauli.

Since India has acquired 599 bigha 18 kattha 8 dhur land for 'Koshi Colony' along with the canal, it will not be possible to spend the budget of the Nepal government on such land. In the circular issued by the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers Office on 24th June 2008, it has been asked to construct public structures only after confirming the ownership of the land.

However, the rural municipality did the road slope work through the consumer committee ignoring the circular that came through the office of the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers.

ward no. Parmanand Yadav, the ward president of 6, accused the municipality of spending unnecessarily without consulting for the purpose of budgeting. He said that not all the budget was spent on the road slope and demanded that there be an investigation.

Yuvraj Aman, executive engineer of the Western Koshi Canal District, Kunauli Vihar, said that road slope work was done in 'Koshi Colony' against the Koshi Agreement. "Some locals are forcibly encroaching on the colony, so we are having trouble operating the canal. We have written to the police many times to get it cleared, but they are not being listened to," he said, "Nepal government did not have to budget for it, we do everything ourselves, but we had to remove the encroachment." Ujjwal Anand, the chief administrative officer of the rural municipality, said that when the budget of 6 million was allocated for 'Koshi Colony', the road slope work was done. I had not come here when the plan was requested. I also doubted to work there. But after talking about it, I did it," he said. "We have paid more than 55 lakhs." "It is not possible to build a structure on Nepalese private land by spending the government budget," he said, "I was not aware of the contents of the agreement." If the land is leased by the Government of India, the government budget cannot be spent on it.'

Chief District Officer Bhola Dahal also said that the budget of the Nepalese government cannot be spent on the land, which is "leased" by the Indian government. "I will look at that road myself and after understanding more about it, we will proceed according to the law," he said.
