She also urged the locals to launch the 'One House, One Tourist' campaign targeting internal and external tourists. “This will not only help in generating income but also helps in the marketing of local products,” Minister Bhusal said.
The suspension bridge was constructed at the cost of over Rs 7.97 million and is 135 meters long. Earlier when the bridge was not built, it was difficult for the tourists to reach both the places at once. Minister Bhusal took the initiative to construct the bridge through the Local Infrastructure Development Program.
