KATHMANDU, Oct 25: A sinkhole has been formed on the main road in front of the parliament building along the Tinkune-Baneshwor road section in the capital city.


The six-lane main road from Baneshwor to Tinkune was expanded a few years ago to make the road of international standard. The sinkhole in the middle of the main road has raised questions over the quality of the construction works.
