Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said the newly built Gwarko flyover would resolve the nagging problem of traffic jam at Gwarko and vicinity.
Inaugurating the flyover at Gwarko amid a program organized by the Ministry of Physical Infrastructures and Transport, PM Oli made a commitment to advance the holistic and multi-dimensional development of the country.
The overpass was built by the Ministry. It is the first of its kind in Nepal. The infrastructure was constructed by Ashish Samanantar Religar JV in the framework of engineering procurement construction (EPC). It costs Rs 170.6 million.
The overpass has a 500-meter approach road. The initiative aimed at wiping out traffic congestion at Gwarko Chowk was launched four years ago.
"We've been working untiringly for development. Just yesterday, it was found that Dailekh had a deposit of methane gas sufficient for Nepal for 50 years. Among three such places identified for exploration and excavation, such potential was found from the one alone," he explained, adding that once the iron production begins from Dhaubadi, it will boost the country's economy.
With the exploration of mines, modernization of agriculture will also be forwarded. Establishment of new industries and social and administrative reform were equally prioritized, according to the PM.
Moreover, the PM argued that the Sunkoshi-Marin diversion and postal highway would not only bring a sweeping change in the Tarai but also across the country. Other infrastructures like Madan Bhandari Highway and Pushpalal Highway were also gaining pace, he said.
