Kathmandu. The contract agreement of three infrastructure projects in Rautahat that had been stalled for a long time has been terminated. The contracts for the Lamaha Khola Bridge under Chandranigahapur-Gaur Road, Laukaha Khola Bridge of Chapur-Sukdev Chowk-Laukaha road section and the upgradation of the Dhansar-Bagmati section of the Mahendra Highway have been terminated due to the delay in completing the construction of the project. <\/p>\n
Minister for Infrastructure Development Sunil Lamsal has said that a decision has been made to scrap the contract of three stalled projects of Rautahat and forward the works through a new process. <\/p>\n
According to Minister Lamsal, the construction of the Lamaha Khola bridge under the Chandranigahapur-Gaur road and the Laukaha Khola bridge of the Chapur-Sukdev Chowk-Laukaha road section were in limbo for the last 10 years. The contract agreement for both the bridges was terminated after the deadline could not be completed despite repeated extensions. <\/p>\n
An agreement was signed with Pappu and Shivashankar JV, Garuda, Rautahat for the construction of these two bridges on April 4, 2016. According to the agreement, the construction was to be completed within the fiscal year 2075\u00f776, but the deadline was extended several times and the deadline was extended to July 30, 2080. However, the construction could not be completed within the stipulated time. <\/p>\n
Due to the delay in the construction of the bridge, the locals have been facing problems in commuting for a long time. Minister Lamsal said that the government has reached a decision to complete the remaining work of the project through a new process. <\/p>\n
Similarly, the contract agreement for the upgradation and rehabilitation of the road on the Dhansar-Bagmati section of the Mahendra Highway has also been terminated. Minister Lamsal said that the decision to terminate the contract was taken after the physical progress of the project was found to be zero in the last fiscal year. <\/p>\n
The Road Division Chandranigahapur has also issued a public notice regarding the termination of the contract agreement. According to the notice, two contracts for the construction of Lamaha and Laukaha river bridges with Pappu\u00f7Shivshankar JV and the upgradation of the road on the Dhansar-Bagmati section of the Mahendra Highway have been terminated. <\/p>\n
Minister Lamsal said that the government has taken a strict policy to proceed with the construction of sick infrastructure projects across the country. He said that the projects that are seen as the basis for completing the construction will be given the last chance and if the work does not progress even from that, the contract will be terminated and the remaining work will be completed through a new process. <\/p>\n
Minister Lamsal said that the government has tightened the contract management to end the problems of the citizens due to the projects that have been stalled for long and to speed up the construction of public infrastructures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
