Kathmandu. Rashtriya Janamorcha President Chitra Bahadur KC has demanded that the government complete the Pushpalal Highway construction process as soon as possible. Speaking during a special session of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, he said that it is ironic that the Pushpalal Highway has been in the construction process for the past 22 years but has not been completed yet.
MP KC urged the government to immediately call for tenders to complete the road, saying that dust in winter and mud in rain have seriously affected the livelihoods and health of the local people. Since the road falls in his constituency, he said that the government should at least shed some light on why it was not built and when it will be built now.
He said, ‘It has been 22 years since the Pushpalal Highway was started, but everyone from the ruling Prime Minister to the current Prime Minister has been coming and going. However, dust in winter and mud in summer are causing equal damage. I have repeatedly drawn the attention of the government and have approached the relevant bodies. The awareness of the voters is that it happens only when the MP dares. It is not done by our MP. The fake crackers in the villages do the same thing to the people. I have repeatedly said from this place that the road is a disaster.’
‘When the MP says that this road is coming, people gather in places. I have to walk on another road. What happened? I have heard that even the honorable Prime Minister himself has visited the road. Why does the work not work even when one contractor is removed and another contractor comes? I say again, I have little hope that the government will do it, whether I believe it or not. Now, at least for the sake of telling the voters, the government should say something about why that road was not built. Let the next budget create an environment for the immediate construction of the road.’
He said he was optimistic that the next budget would create an environment for the immediate construction of the Pushpalal Highway.
