Vehicles have reached Dumling on the Darchula-Tinkar road section under the Mahakali Corridor. Small vehicles have reached Dumling on the road section being constructed by the Nepali Army on Saturday after the road was opened.
Vehicles have reached Dumling in Beas Rural Municipality-2 for the first time. Tractors and jeeps carrying construction materials reached Dumling on Saturday as the army continues to upgrade the road. The road being constructed by the army starts from Tusarpani in Beas Rural Municipality-3. Dumling village is 12 kilometers away. The army has stated that even though the army has opened a 22-kilometer-long track from Tusarpani on the road section, vehicles can still travel up to 12 kilometers.
The Beas region, which is connected to the Nepal-China border, is considered geographically very remote. For years, the citizens of this region have been forced to travel on foot. It is believed that the standard of living of the local residents will improve with the expansion of the road.
Dhiren Singh Budhathoki, Ward Chairman of Beas Rural Municipality-2, said that the locals are happy after the road network was connected to Dumling village in Kaljupchi of Beas Rural Municipality-2. He said that vehicles have reached the lower Dumling-Ghat area under the road being constructed by the army. He said that this is an important achievement for the citizens of Beas region who have been waiting for road access for years.
With the operation of the road up to Dumling, it is expected that transportation of daily necessities, movement of patients and education and other service facilities will become easier. The transport operation has been started after the construction of the 12-kilometer road from zero point Tusarpani to Dumling under the Tusarpani-Tinkar road being constructed by the Nepali Army. According to the Nepali Army, the work of opening the track of 22.15 kilometers of the road has been completed so far under the total 79-kilometer road under construction from Tusarpani to Tinkar.
The Beas region, which is connected to the Nepal-China border, is considered geographically very remote. For years, the citizens here have been forced to travel on foot. It is believed that the expansion of the road will improve the living standards of the local residents.
This strategically important road connecting the remote Himalayan region is expected to facilitate transportation, health, education and transportation of daily necessities for the locals of the Beas region. Locals have expressed their belief that once the road and vehicles reach Dumling, they will get relief from the decades-long transportation problem.
The Nepali Army has been moving ahead with the construction of the road since the fiscal year 2077/78. The army has stated that the road is being constructed amidst difficult conditions in the mountainous and rocky terrain. This road, which is of strategic and developmental importance, is expected to connect the residents of the border region to the national road network.
Earlier, the army has already opened and upgraded road tracks in the areas of Ward No. 2, Mal, Kothedhar, Kalju, Atungti, Tambaku and Dumling, including areas in Ward No. 2, through Tusarpani of Beas Rural Municipality-3. The army has stated that the work of upgrading roads and opening tracks is continuing in the remaining areas.
Similarly, it has been stated that about 2.3 kilometers of road tracks have also been opened in the Chhangru-Gaga area. The road construction work has been progressed rapidly with the goal of connecting the Tinker checkpoint. The Nepali Army, which has been entrusted with opening 79 kilometers of road tracks, has not been able to work at the expected pace due to lack of budget.
In the current fiscal year, only Rs 63.1 million has been allocated for the construction of the Tinker road. Due to low budget allocation, the excavator machine that was delivered to Chhangru by helicopter last year is unused. Out of the budget allocated this year, only Rs 10 million has been allocated for road construction work. The remaining budget has been earmarked for the construction of an army camp in Chhangru and the purchase of machinery and equipment. Due to budget shortage, the army had stopped work from mid-Magh to early April. Construction work on the road section was resumed from the second week of April.
