Prime Minister Deuba said, "It has been agreed with the Indian government to build a dry port in Sudurpaschim Province. If there is a dry port across the Mahakali in Dodhara Chandani, Sudurpaschim Province will be directly connected to Mumbai, India. Goods can be brought directly from Mumbai. I am confident that this will help in the development of the province. The province has not developed due to geographical remoteness and lack of investment security.”
Prime Minister Deuba said that special attention should be paid to the development of the Mahakali River, West Seti Hydropower Project for the development of Sudurpaschim Province. He also urged all parties concerned to work hand in hand for the development of the province by emphasizing on human development.
