The Karnali Province government has earmarked Rs 160 million to develop Dunai, the district headquarters of Dolpa, into a planned urban center. The project focuses on riverbank protection, drainage improvement, and road expansion. For the current fiscal year, Rs 40 million has been released to upgrade internal roads and connect a newly built Bailey bridge to the local hospital. Plans also include widening narrow access routes to the bus park and helipad and preventing sewage from flowing directly into the Bheri River, a long-standing local concern.
