The decision of the Sudurpaschim Provincial Assembly to build a permanent capital of the state at Godavari in Kailali has been stalled for 7 years. During the first term of the State Assembly, the meeting of 12 October 2075 decided to make Godavari Municipality-4 Teghri Godavari the permanent capital of Far West. Neither the current government nor the provincial assembly has reconsidered the decision.

Since the appointment of the temporary capital, the work has been carried out from the temporary structures in Dhangadhi. Chief Minister Kamal Bahadur Shah had said a year and a half ago that he was going to reconsider the permanent capital. However, so far no concrete process has been carried out in this direction. On the other hand, the state government has been spending crores of rupees on repairing the temporary structure that houses the state ministry in Dhangadhi.

According to the details of the State Controller of Accounts Office, in the 6 years from the financial year 2075/76 to 2080/81, the government has spent 275 million 53 lakh 51 thousand on the maintenance of those structures. The highest amount has been spent in the financial year 2076/77. In the last fiscal year 2081/82, 49.9935 thousand was allocated for maintenance, but the details of the expenditure have not been made public. In the budget of the current financial year, the highest budget of 128 million has been allocated for the maintenance of the structure of the temporary capital. 

The amount has been spent on economic affairs, physical infrastructure development, Ministry of Industry, Tourism, Forestry and Environment, Land Management, Agriculture and Cooperatives, Social Development, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Provincial Accounts, Attorney General's Office and the temporary office of the Public Service Commission. It is recorded that the government has spent 29 million 22 thousand rupees for the maintenance of the office of the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers in a period of 6 years.

The details of the amount allocated in the last financial year 2081/82 have not been received. However, it is estimated that an amount of more than 30 million has been spent," said an official of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, "If the permanent capital had been determined and the construction process of the permanent structure had been started on time, the budget would not have been spent in pieces every year.

The work on Godavari, the permanent capital designated by the state assembly, has not progressed due to litigation. In the year 2075, a case was filed in the Supreme Court against the decision of the state assembly to destroy the forest area of Godavari. Chief Advocate of the state Thekendra Prasad Joshi said that the case filed by Manish Kumar Shrestha and Devi Kumari Joshi is still pending. According to him, after the preliminary arguments of both sides, the court gave an interim order not to stop the implementation of the decision. After that, while Pacey was moving, there was no further debate or resolution on this issue. 

At that time, the Sudurpaschim Province government had written to the Ministry of Forests and the Prime Minister's Office on January 075, demanding the right of occupancy of 444 bighas of land along with the measurement and mapping of the Godavari region. The state government had proposed to consume only the necessary land and preserve the rest of the forest. However, the then chief attorney general of the state, Kulananda Upadhyay, said that no decision was made regarding the rights of enjoyment as the union government did not care. "Because the Ministry of Forestry did not give the right of way, the implementation could not proceed," he said. 

At that time, Trilochan Bhatt, the then Chief Minister, said that he met the Prime Minister many times and demanded to give us the right of occupancy of the land. "If the union government had given the usufruct of the land, the physical infrastructure construction works would have started in Godavari at that time," he said. He said that the land tenure file is stuck in the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Forests. 

Chief Minister Shah is trying to find an alternative with the central leadership of the Congress, UML and Maoists after the implementation of the permanent capital at Godavari is stuck. He said that homework is being done to build a permanent capital in Dhangadhi as an alternative. The state government has designated Dhangadhi as its permanent capital and is currently trying to construct structures including the state ministry on 13 bighas spread from the office of the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers to the water supply office.
