Related works have been completed in sixty districts under 15 packages out of 18 packages, RSS reported. Similarly, fifty percent works have been completed in other 10 districts under two separate packages.

The NTA further said that the Mid-hill Highway and district headquarters are being connected to internet facility under the information superhighway project.    
Under the first package, works have been launched in Province 1, 2 and Bagmati Province by forging agreement with Nepal Telecom. As per the agreement, extension of optical fibres would be complete in two years.
