			'content' => '<p>August 4: The construction of dry port and international exhibition center at Chovar, Kathmandu has still not gathered pace. The government had decided to construct a dry port and international standard exhibition center on the premises of Himal Cement Company which has remained out of operation since a long time.</p>

<p>Insufficient paper works has caused the delay in moving the construction process forward, informed Nepal Intermodel Transport Development Board (NITDB) under the Ministry of Commerce.</p>

<p>The board had handed the responsibility of survey, preparing the design, and finalizing documents for the construction of the dry port to Full Bright Consultancy. According to Laxman Babu Basnet, executive director of the board, the consultancy was given to prepare master plan for the construction of the international standard exhibition center.</p>

<p>Basnet informed that the deadline given to the consultancy expired in May last year. However, the World Bank (WB) found many issues missing in the survey report and has asked to submit it again after fulfilling all the criteria. The consultancy has aimed at completing all the tasks by mid-August.</p>

<p>The dry port will be constructed with Rs 1.2 billion loan from the WB. However, sources say that the estimated amount much more that the actual requirement. Basnet said that the investment for the construction of international level exhibition center has yet not been decided. He made it clear that an agreement will be made in the coming days with the WB in this regard.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the ministry said that the process for the construction of the dry port had started in 2010 but was delayed as the consultancy was not able to finish the survey on time.</p>

<p>The government had decided to construct the exhibition center while announcing the budget of FY 2013/14, stating that the current exhibition center at Bhrikutimandap lacked enough space.</p>

<p>At that time, Himal Cement had not paid its remaining loan of Rs 20.5 million and the Nepal Industrial Development Corporation (NIDC) did not release the land for other purpose. The survey and detailed project report (DPR) works started after the payment of the loan.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;It took two years to bring the land ownership under the government from Himal Cement,&rdquo; Basnet said adding, &ldquo;The DPR work had started after the transfer of ownership of land.&rdquo; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>August 2: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Legislature-Parliament has directed Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) to cancel the tender for installation of 25MW capacity solar lights in Nuwakot and begin a new process. A meeting of the Legislature-Parliament on August 1 directed the NEA to cancel the tender after finding flaws in the tender process.</p>

<p>NEA had decided to construct a solar farm in Devigat and Battar at Nuwakot district with the support of World Bank. Five companies had applied for the bidding process in response to a tender notice issued by NEA. Instead of selecting the lowest bidder, the NEA &nbsp;awarded the contract to a company quoting higher price, according to a complaint filed at the PAC.</p>

<p>Initially, NEA&rsquo;s then Executive Director Mukesh Raj Kafle had decided to hand over the project to the lowest bidder, Pingawo and Heron Joint Venture (JV). But the complaint states that the NEA was involved in irregularities by cancelling the contract and giving it to Risen Energy, which had quoted Rs 680 million more than Pingawo and Heron Joint Venture. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Parliamentarians have also accused former Energy Minister Janardan Sharma of misappropriation of funds in this project and have demanded filing a case against him at the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA).</p>

<p>However, PAC chairman Dor Prasad Upadhyay said that the committee cannot call this a corruption case since the donor agency hasn&rsquo;t yet released the fund. &ldquo;We can move this case forward if we find any new facts related to this case,&rdquo; he further said.</p>

<p>NEA is trying to speed up this project for the management of energy crisis in the coming winter. But the controversial decision taken by the NEA is certain to delay the project.</p>

<p>NEA has to start from the scratch for a new bidding process. The selection process will begin only after 35 days of issuing a tender notice. According to Upadhyay, if the NEA starts the process all over again right now, it will be delayed only by a month.</p>

<p>Folowing the instruction form PAC, the NEA has said it can start a new process only with the agreement of World Bank.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, a source at the NEA said Pingawo and Heron JV had not quoted the lowest amount. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>August 4: The construction of dry port and international exhibition center at Chovar, Kathmandu has still not gathered pace. The government had decided to construct a dry port and international standard exhibition center on the premises of Himal Cement Company which has remained out of operation since a long time.</p>

<p>Insufficient paper works has caused the delay in moving the construction process forward, informed Nepal Intermodel Transport Development Board (NITDB) under the Ministry of Commerce.</p>

<p>The board had handed the responsibility of survey, preparing the design, and finalizing documents for the construction of the dry port to Full Bright Consultancy. According to Laxman Babu Basnet, executive director of the board, the consultancy was given to prepare master plan for the construction of the international standard exhibition center.</p>

<p>Basnet informed that the deadline given to the consultancy expired in May last year. However, the World Bank (WB) found many issues missing in the survey report and has asked to submit it again after fulfilling all the criteria. The consultancy has aimed at completing all the tasks by mid-August.</p>

<p>The dry port will be constructed with Rs 1.2 billion loan from the WB. However, sources say that the estimated amount much more that the actual requirement. Basnet said that the investment for the construction of international level exhibition center has yet not been decided. He made it clear that an agreement will be made in the coming days with the WB in this regard.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the ministry said that the process for the construction of the dry port had started in 2010 but was delayed as the consultancy was not able to finish the survey on time.</p>

<p>The government had decided to construct the exhibition center while announcing the budget of FY 2013/14, stating that the current exhibition center at Bhrikutimandap lacked enough space.</p>

<p>At that time, Himal Cement had not paid its remaining loan of Rs 20.5 million and the Nepal Industrial Development Corporation (NIDC) did not release the land for other purpose. The survey and detailed project report (DPR) works started after the payment of the loan.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;It took two years to bring the land ownership under the government from Himal Cement,&rdquo; Basnet said adding, &ldquo;The DPR work had started after the transfer of ownership of land.&rdquo; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>August 2: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Legislature-Parliament has directed Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) to cancel the tender for installation of 25MW capacity solar lights in Nuwakot and begin a new process. A meeting of the Legislature-Parliament on August 1 directed the NEA to cancel the tender after finding flaws in the tender process.</p>

<p>NEA had decided to construct a solar farm in Devigat and Battar at Nuwakot district with the support of World Bank. Five companies had applied for the bidding process in response to a tender notice issued by NEA. Instead of selecting the lowest bidder, the NEA &nbsp;awarded the contract to a company quoting higher price, according to a complaint filed at the PAC.</p>

<p>Initially, NEA&rsquo;s then Executive Director Mukesh Raj Kafle had decided to hand over the project to the lowest bidder, Pingawo and Heron Joint Venture (JV). But the complaint states that the NEA was involved in irregularities by cancelling the contract and giving it to Risen Energy, which had quoted Rs 680 million more than Pingawo and Heron Joint Venture. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Parliamentarians have also accused former Energy Minister Janardan Sharma of misappropriation of funds in this project and have demanded filing a case against him at the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA).</p>

<p>However, PAC chairman Dor Prasad Upadhyay said that the committee cannot call this a corruption case since the donor agency hasn&rsquo;t yet released the fund. &ldquo;We can move this case forward if we find any new facts related to this case,&rdquo; he further said.</p>

<p>NEA is trying to speed up this project for the management of energy crisis in the coming winter. But the controversial decision taken by the NEA is certain to delay the project.</p>

<p>NEA has to start from the scratch for a new bidding process. The selection process will begin only after 35 days of issuing a tender notice. According to Upadhyay, if the NEA starts the process all over again right now, it will be delayed only by a month.</p>

<p>Folowing the instruction form PAC, the NEA has said it can start a new process only with the agreement of World Bank.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, a source at the NEA said Pingawo and Heron JV had not quoted the lowest amount. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;The reconstruction of Dharahara, which carries historic significance of country, will finish within three years,&rdquo; CEO Pokharel said.</p>

<p>The estimated cost of Dharahara&rsquo;s reconstruction is Rs 8 billion. &lsquo;Mero Dharahara Ma Banauchu&rsquo; campaign has collected Rs 90 million. Meanwhile, NT which had shown keen interest in the reconstruction of Dharahara has not made any announcement recently.</p>

<p>Dr Hari Ram Parajuli, a member of the working committee of NRA, said that the tussle between different bodies have delayed the reconstruction of Dharahara.</p>

<p>Also, NRA said that there won&rsquo;t be any shortage of funds for reconstruction of monastaries as well.

<p>The amount of Rs 40.2 million allocated for reconstruction has not been spent as NRA has not prepared work procedure for it.</p>

			'content' => '<p>August 4: The construction of dry port and international exhibition center at Chovar, Kathmandu has still not gathered pace. The government had decided to construct a dry port and international standard exhibition center on the premises of Himal Cement Company which has remained out of operation since a long time.</p>

<p>Insufficient paper works has caused the delay in moving the construction process forward, informed Nepal Intermodel Transport Development Board (NITDB) under the Ministry of Commerce.</p>

<p>The board had handed the responsibility of survey, preparing the design, and finalizing documents for the construction of the dry port to Full Bright Consultancy. According to Laxman Babu Basnet, executive director of the board, the consultancy was given to prepare master plan for the construction of the international standard exhibition center.</p>

<p>Basnet informed that the deadline given to the consultancy expired in May last year. However, the World Bank (WB) found many issues missing in the survey report and has asked to submit it again after fulfilling all the criteria. The consultancy has aimed at completing all the tasks by mid-August.</p>

<p>The dry port will be constructed with Rs 1.2 billion loan from the WB. However, sources say that the estimated amount much more that the actual requirement. Basnet said that the investment for the construction of international level exhibition center has yet not been decided. He made it clear that an agreement will be made in the coming days with the WB in this regard.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the ministry said that the process for the construction of the dry port had started in 2010 but was delayed as the consultancy was not able to finish the survey on time.</p>

<p>The government had decided to construct the exhibition center while announcing the budget of FY 2013/14, stating that the current exhibition center at Bhrikutimandap lacked enough space.</p>

<p>At that time, Himal Cement had not paid its remaining loan of Rs 20.5 million and the Nepal Industrial Development Corporation (NIDC) did not release the land for other purpose. The survey and detailed project report (DPR) works started after the payment of the loan.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;It took two years to bring the land ownership under the government from Himal Cement,&rdquo; Basnet said adding, &ldquo;The DPR work had started after the transfer of ownership of land.&rdquo; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>August 2: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Legislature-Parliament has directed Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) to cancel the tender for installation of 25MW capacity solar lights in Nuwakot and begin a new process. A meeting of the Legislature-Parliament on August 1 directed the NEA to cancel the tender after finding flaws in the tender process.</p>

<p>NEA had decided to construct a solar farm in Devigat and Battar at Nuwakot district with the support of World Bank. Five companies had applied for the bidding process in response to a tender notice issued by NEA. Instead of selecting the lowest bidder, the NEA &nbsp;awarded the contract to a company quoting higher price, according to a complaint filed at the PAC.</p>

<p>Initially, NEA&rsquo;s then Executive Director Mukesh Raj Kafle had decided to hand over the project to the lowest bidder, Pingawo and Heron Joint Venture (JV). But the complaint states that the NEA was involved in irregularities by cancelling the contract and giving it to Risen Energy, which had quoted Rs 680 million more than Pingawo and Heron Joint Venture. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Parliamentarians have also accused former Energy Minister Janardan Sharma of misappropriation of funds in this project and have demanded filing a case against him at the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA).</p>

<p>However, PAC chairman Dor Prasad Upadhyay said that the committee cannot call this a corruption case since the donor agency hasn&rsquo;t yet released the fund. &ldquo;We can move this case forward if we find any new facts related to this case,&rdquo; he further said.</p>

<p>NEA is trying to speed up this project for the management of energy crisis in the coming winter. But the controversial decision taken by the NEA is certain to delay the project.</p>

<p>NEA has to start from the scratch for a new bidding process. The selection process will begin only after 35 days of issuing a tender notice. According to Upadhyay, if the NEA starts the process all over again right now, it will be delayed only by a month.</p>

<p>Folowing the instruction form PAC, the NEA has said it can start a new process only with the agreement of World Bank.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, a source at the NEA said Pingawo and Heron JV had not quoted the lowest amount. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Insufficient paper works has caused the delay in moving the construction process forward, informed Nepal Intermodel Transport Development Board (NITDB) under the Ministry of Commerce.</p>

<p>The board had handed the responsibility of survey, preparing the design, and finalizing documents for the construction of the dry port to Full Bright Consultancy. According to Laxman Babu Basnet, executive director of the board, the consultancy was given to prepare master plan for the construction of the international standard exhibition center.</p>

<p>Basnet informed that the deadline given to the consultancy expired in May last year. However, the World Bank (WB) found many issues missing in the survey report and has asked to submit it again after fulfilling all the criteria. The consultancy has aimed at completing all the tasks by mid-August.</p>

<p>The dry port will be constructed with Rs 1.2 billion loan from the WB. However, sources say that the estimated amount much more that the actual requirement. Basnet said that the investment for the construction of international level exhibition center has yet not been decided. He made it clear that an agreement will be made in the coming days with the WB in this regard.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the ministry said that the process for the construction of the dry port had started in 2010 but was delayed as the consultancy was not able to finish the survey on time.</p>

<p>The government had decided to construct the exhibition center while announcing the budget of FY 2013/14, stating that the current exhibition center at Bhrikutimandap lacked enough space.</p>

<p>At that time, Himal Cement had not paid its remaining loan of Rs 20.5 million and the Nepal Industrial Development Corporation (NIDC) did not release the land for other purpose. The survey and detailed project report (DPR) works started after the payment of the loan.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;It took two years to bring the land ownership under the government from Himal Cement,&rdquo; Basnet said adding, &ldquo;The DPR work had started after the transfer of ownership of land.&rdquo; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>August 2: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Legislature-Parliament has directed Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) to cancel the tender for installation of 25MW capacity solar lights in Nuwakot and begin a new process. A meeting of the Legislature-Parliament on August 1 directed the NEA to cancel the tender after finding flaws in the tender process.</p>

<p>NEA had decided to construct a solar farm in Devigat and Battar at Nuwakot district with the support of World Bank. Five companies had applied for the bidding process in response to a tender notice issued by NEA. Instead of selecting the lowest bidder, the NEA &nbsp;awarded the contract to a company quoting higher price, according to a complaint filed at the PAC.</p>

<p>Initially, NEA&rsquo;s then Executive Director Mukesh Raj Kafle had decided to hand over the project to the lowest bidder, Pingawo and Heron Joint Venture (JV). But the complaint states that the NEA was involved in irregularities by cancelling the contract and giving it to Risen Energy, which had quoted Rs 680 million more than Pingawo and Heron Joint Venture. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Parliamentarians have also accused former Energy Minister Janardan Sharma of misappropriation of funds in this project and have demanded filing a case against him at the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA).</p>

<p>However, PAC chairman Dor Prasad Upadhyay said that the committee cannot call this a corruption case since the donor agency hasn&rsquo;t yet released the fund. &ldquo;We can move this case forward if we find any new facts related to this case,&rdquo; he further said.</p>

<p>NEA is trying to speed up this project for the management of energy crisis in the coming winter. But the controversial decision taken by the NEA is certain to delay the project.</p>

<p>NEA has to start from the scratch for a new bidding process. The selection process will begin only after 35 days of issuing a tender notice. According to Upadhyay, if the NEA starts the process all over again right now, it will be delayed only by a month.</p>

<p>Folowing the instruction form PAC, the NEA has said it can start a new process only with the agreement of World Bank.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, a source at the NEA said Pingawo and Heron JV had not quoted the lowest amount. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
