Rural areas in Banke getting good access to the road network   

Banke – Construction of the road network in and around Nepalgunj Sub-Metropolitan City is taking a good pace, which has contributed to the other development infrastructures. Recently, 116 kilometers of road in the city is blacktopped and the development infrastructures in the rural areas have made significant progress.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has doled out Rs 4 billion for the blacktop of roads in Nepalgunj under the integrated urban development project.

With the construction of roads linking the urban and rural areas, more industries and business firms are being established in the rural areas and increased human mobility is recorded.

Mayor of Nepalgunj Prashant Bista said the developmental works have been expedited. According to Bista, the development of a water park, dumping site, bus park, and renovation of Rani Lake and Mahendra Garden are taking place in a speedy manner.

The city has also accorded priority to the construction of the multipurpose buildings, Mangal Prasad Girl’s College, and several other projects. The sub-metropolitan city has allocated Rs 80 million for the construction of the college.
