It has been found that the water supply pipelines laid in the Kathmandu Valley have been damaged by work without coordination between government agencies.
According to the 63rd annual report prepared by the Office of the Auditor General, the water supply pipelines have been damaged by work without coordination between agencies. Although the amount of the damage should be recovered, the amount has not been received.
The pipes laid in the Kathmandu Valley were damaged during road and electricity works. According to the details, the Nepal Electricity Authority has suffered damage worth Rs. 16.757 million while working on the pipes. Similarly, the Roads Department suffered damage worth Rs. 280 million while doing necessary work, the Lalitpur Metropolitan City suffered damage worth Rs. 12.73 million while doing necessary work, and other bodies suffered damage worth Rs. 17.138 million.
Similarly, in the context of terminating the contract agreement with a construction entrepreneur and entering into a new agreement, it was decided to recover Rs. 2.599 billion including performance security and advance payment.
The Accountant General has raised questions about the non-recovery of the amount as per the decision. In the context of the construction of wastewater treatment plants in Kodku, Sallaghari, and Dhobighat in the Kathmandu Valley, a contract was terminated with a construction contractor and another contract was entered into.
Initially, a contract was signed with a foreign company for 3.46 billion 9.6 million. That company completed work worth 787.7 million 25 thousand.
After the work was not completed within the stipulated time, the contract was terminated and a new construction contractor was selected. Before the selection of the new contractor, the cost was estimated at 6.47 billion 1 million.
