Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that 'break through' is an important work in the construction of long tunnels in the country with new technology. Addressing the 'break through' program of the Ghattepankha-Dhedre tunnel located on the national pride Kathmandu-Tarai/Madhes highway (fast track), he expressed his determination that the pace of this development will not stop now that Nepal has entered a new era with the tunnel era.

Prime Minister Oli said, 'The speed at which development should have happened in the past did not happen, now this expressway will be the model of development.' Stating that the government is ready to resolve the obstacles in the construction of the expressway, he clarified that the disruption in the construction of the expressway is not only political but also related to the economy.

Mentioning that there was an attempt to create a commentary that nothing happened in Nepal, Prime Minister Oli said that the construction of the long-distance tunnel refuted it. Stating that it is a fast track for cultural integration, strengthening of the national economy and promotion of the tourism industry, Prime Minister Oli expressed the opinion that he is committed to creating a complete peace and fear-free environment in the country.

He mentioned that the government is working with the vision of developing the country, raising the standard of living of the citizens, fulfilling the national aspirations of a happy Nepali and a prosperous Nepal.  Stating that the work of bringing optical fiber, 4G internet and other services to all districts is progressing, Prime Minister Oli said that infrastructure such as expressways will support such programs.

He directed the officials of the ministry connected with infrastructure development to finish the work started on time. Prime Minister Oli broke through a 1.728 km long tunnel towards Kathmandu-Nijgarh today during a ceremony in Bakaiya Rural Municipality-12 Dhedre of Makwanpur.
