Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Urban Development, Prakashman Singh, announced that the government is preparing to open Dharahara to the public soon.
During an interaction with infrastructure development journalists at the Ministry in Singh Durbar today, he revealed that arrangements are being made to allow people to enjoy the view from Dharahara within the next 100 days.
Although all construction work on the tower is not yet complete, Singh assured that necessary provisions will be made for those eager to climb it. 'The government will ensure that within 100 days, those who wish to climb the tower will have the opportunity. We are working to open parts of Dharahara, though not all of it,' stated Deputy Prime Minister Singh.
He also acknowledged that the construction of the new city was delayed due to previous governmental instability but assured that the project will now move forward as the two major parties in parliament have formed a stable government.
Additionally, Deputy Prime Minister Singh mentioned that the ministry is engaging in necessary discussions with local authorities regarding waste management in the Kathmandu Valley.
