Laying the foundation stone of the 'signature bridge' to be constructed over the Narayani River today, PM Dahal said the government was doing ground work to run integrated projects associated to employment and productivity.
"It is today's national need to run projects of integrated nature related to infrastructure development, rural economic empowerment, production growth and employment generation", he further said.
The government would lay emphasis on quality and sustainability aspects of road network across the country, the PM shared, adding attention would be paid on bringing reforms in infrastructure, vehiles and traffic systems in order to ease transport service and reduce road accidents.
He highlighted the need to create positive narrative that the country itself can execute the projects in an appropriate manner based on evidence-based study and analysis.
Nepal has made good shifts in infrastructure, education, health, communications, drinking water and electrification as well as social security and service delivery, the PM claimed.
It may be noted that the Department of Roads is constructing over 149 bridges in different parts of the country now. "The tunnel way of the Nagdhunga road section has seen a breakthrough", PM shared, adding other several developments taking place in game changing projects would contribute Nepal to graduate to developing country by 2026".
