KATHMANDU, Jan 31: The Government of India has provided $2.49 million to Nepal for Hulaki Rajmarga, which is also known as postal highway, project.

The under-construction highway runs across the Tarai region close to the Nepal-India border. The project is in news in recent months due to delay in construction.

Indian Ambassador to Nepal Ranjit Rae handed over a cheque for Rs 249.71 million (that is equivalent to $2.49 million) to the Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport Ramesh Lekhak at the latter's office on Monday, according to a press release issued by the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu.

The highway, which was used to carry mails since the Rana regime, runs from Bhadrapur in the east to Dohara in the west.
