Pain upon pain

Especially the budget allocated for the local level as well as billions of rupees distributed indiscriminately in the name of the development of MP's constituencies have become a death ground in many places, and have become a factor in causing great loss of life during the rainy season.

While the agony of 76 innocent youths who died prematurely during the Gen-J movement is becoming unbearable, the country has become more saddened after 53 people died due to three days of incessant rain.

The news that only 37 people died in Ilam district confirms the weak nature of the hills there. If the government had not stopped air and road transport in time, it was certain that there would have been a greater financial loss. In fact, most of the roads in Nepal are not built according to international standards.

Especially the budget allocated for the local level as well as the billions of rupees distributed indiscriminately in the name of the development of MP's constituencies, the uneven roads have become like deathbeds in many places, they have become a factor in causing great loss of people's wealth during the rainy season.

Even though the steep roads built by crushing trees and plants without soil testing are becoming destructive in the rainy season, two and a half dozen governments since 2046 did not know how to build environmentally friendly roads, thinking that the organic road built without using dozers is the name of the bird. 

The mountain road from east to west, built along the river bank, is relatively safe. Whether it is the Mechi highway, Dharan-Dhankuta road or Karnali highway Attaria-Dandeldhura road area in the west, there is less loss of property due to floods on these roads. Similarly, most of the mountain highways, including East-West Lokmarg, Pokhara-Butwal, are not so unsafe.

 

At this moment, the reference that Thaha Municipality of Makwanpur is going to make Tribhuvan Rajpath a tourist destination doesn't it reflect the importance of the road built on the hill? Now let's talk about the riverside roads: Kodari Highway, Mugling-Narayangadh section of Prithvi Highway, Tawahi in Kerung, Rosikhola flood caused irreparable damage, made the natural beauty ugly and crippled the country's economy. On top of that, misdemeanors like encroachment of rivers and riverbanks can be seen here and there. – Bhuvaneshwar Sharma, Chandragiri-2, Kathmandu
