Physical Infrastructure and Transport Minister Kulman Ghising has warned that the contract for the Ghumaune Motorable Bridge will be cancelled if construction does not resume within a month. The bridge, spanning the Trishuli River and connecting Tanahun and Chitwan, was awarded in fiscal year 2013/14 to Mrit Sanjeevani Construction Company for Rs 95.6 million. Despite an original deadline of April 2022, only about half of the work has been completed. Once finished, the 105-meter bridge will reduce travel distance from Gandaki Province to Narayangad by 23 kilometers.
