Coming decade will be a decade of rapid development: PM Dahal

KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that the coming decade will be a decade of rapid development.

In an address to the nation on the occasion of the completion of one year of his government, Prime Minister Dahal said at least two shifts working model will be guaranteed in infrastructure development to be carried out in a ‘barrack model’. “Development will be carried out in a way that the citizens can feel it.”

Outlining the achievements of the previous year in the field of infrastructure development, the Prime Minister said 776.61 kilometers of black-topped roads were constructed along with 587.5 kilometers of gravel roads. Another 181.29 kilometers of new tracks have been opened.

Stating that the under-construction Narayangadh-Butwal or the Muglin-Pokhara road sections could be taken as an example, Dahal said negative comments are being made by the public because the projects are not completed on time, which not only lead to increased cost but also inflict a lot of suffering on the people.”
