Tanahun. The construction work of the Model Veterinary Hospital building under construction in Damauli, Byas Municipality-3, Tanahun is progressing at a slow pace. The Veterinary Hospital and Animal Service Expert Center is going to construct a well-equipped building to provide services to livestock farmers easily.
The center’s Information Officer, Animal Development Officer Dr. Ramnaresh Yadav, said that the building, which should have been completed a year ago, is still incomplete. The construction contract, which was signed last December with the aim of providing quality services in the treatment of livestock, was not completed and the deadline was extended to Bhadra.
Information Officer Yadav said that the work could not be completed as per the agreement due to the delay of the construction company. He said that some construction work is being done after warning that the contract will be terminated if the work is not started. He said, ‘Even if the current contractor does not work, we had set a goal to build the physical structure of the hospital building by breaking the contract. The slope work has been done, now the work of other structures is pending.’
The Gandaki Province government had an agreement to complete the construction of the hospital building at a cost of Rs 49 million 83 thousand. It is estimated that it will cost Rs 100 million to build and operate the necessary physical infrastructure of the hospital. Parbati Poudel, the center’s accounting officer, informed that the slope work of the two-and-a-half-story building has been completed.
Bimal Kharel, the site in-charge of the construction company, informed that the slope work of the hospital building has been completed and other work is pending. According to him, there is an agreement to complete the construction of the building by mid-Ashar. He said, ‘The work has not been able to proceed due to lack of budget, the necessary infrastructure in the hospital is yet to be built.’
The hospital building under construction on about one and a half ropanis needs to be built to provide services. In Pokhara, Kaski, where construction has begun simultaneously, services have already been provided from the model hospital.
