May 7: The cabinet meeting held on May 4 has decided to hand over the responsibility of the construction of Kathmandu-Nijgadh Fast Track Project to the Nepalese Army.

The cabinet meeting presided over by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal decided to give the project to Nepalese Army.

With the unsuccessful attempt of moving ahead the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) system of construction, operation and distribution, the government is going to build the project under the management of the Army. The national pride project was left in the lurch for the past nine years.

 The Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transportation (MoPIT) has sent a letter through the Ministry of Defense (MoD) asking the views of the Army Headquarters that whether or not they are ready to construct the 76 Km fast track.

It is to be noted that the Nepal Army had already opened the track of the 76 km fast track with an investment of Rs 1.12 billion.

Surendra Karki, Minister for Information and Communications informed that the decision was made on the proposal of Ramesh Lekhak, who is the department minister receiving the positive reply from the Army.

However, the decision on how much responsibility will be taken by Nepali Army and who will take the responsibility of the remaining works is yet to be finalized, said Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, Rajendra Raj Sharma.
