The contractor for the upgradation of the Narayanghat-Butwal road section is the China State Engineering Corporation, a Chinese company. Although the company received the contract four years ago to complete the work in three years, only 35 percent work has been completed so far.


Chinese Ambassador Song has promised to take necessary initiatives on his part to complete the project quickly, according to the leaders of the RSP participating in the discussion.


Shishir Khanal, head of the International Relations Department of RSP, and Nisha Dangi, head of the Infrastructure Development Department, also participated in the discussion with the Chinese ambassador.


In order to speed up the work of this project, RSP marched on foot from Gaindakot in Nawalparasi to Butwal for three days from December 25, 2023. Chairman Lamichhane and other leaders participated in the march.
