Kavre, March 31

State Minister for Communication and Information Technology Gokul Baskota has said his ministry is waiting for the decision of Provincial Assembly to bring the high-tech Information Technology Park into use.

“Whether to run the IT park falls under our jurisdiction of my ministry, but there are rumours about making Kavre the provincial headquarters and using the park as the residence of the chief minister, we can’t do anything until Province 3 picks its headquarters,” said the minster, addressing a reception organised by Banepa Municipality for the recently appointed minister today.

“In case Kavre is made the provincial capital, the IT Park will be the headquarters,” said Baskota, who pointed at the possibility of shifting the park to Bhaktapur in that case.”The facility built by spending tens of millions of rupees year ago won’t remain unused any more. It will be brought to use if not appropriated as the provincial headquarters,” he reasoned.
