Locals ready to invest on Ktm-Hetauda tunnel

The locals in Makwanpur have agreed to invest on the dream project that is going to be the first tunnel road in the country.
"We are ready to invest Rs 10,000 as shares," they said, during the mass meeting at Markhu of Makwanpur.
"It is an example of how private sector can be development partner by investing on infrastructure," said immediate past president of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) and coordinator of the Users’ Community Group Kush Kumar Joshi.
The proposed fast track road with 3.5-km long tunnel will cost Rs 20 billion," he said, adding that the 50-km long road will connect the Valley with the Southern plane of Hetauda.Currently, Hetauda is linked with Kathmand by two highways — one 227 km and the other 133 km. "But the proposed tunnel fast track will have only 50 km and takes only an hour," Joshi added.
The community group has also formed Nepal Purbadhar Bikash Company (NPBC) with 86 local and 76 entrepreneurs as its promoters. "We have applied to the government for the licence," said one of the promoters of NPBC and Federation of Contractors' Association of Nepal (FCAN) president.
The VDCs in Makawanpur and Kathmandu are investing for a proposed 50-km Kathmandu-Hetauda fast track road that will not only reduce driving length between the two cities to one hour by consuming less fuel but also help reduce population concentration in Kathmandu Valley.
Though, Hetauda-Kathmandu aerial distance is only 37 km, the present road – Tribhuwan Highway – that links the two cities is 133-km. Currently, travellers have to spend more than eight hours to reach Hetauda from Kathmandu, and pay high fares burning the petroleum products that have threatened the country's total financial stability.
"We are also inviting Non-Resident Nepalese (NRNs) to invest on the dream project," Joshi said, adding that the project will be completed in four years and in next five years the investment will be returned.
The project will be operated in BOOT model and the local bodies will be the share holders.
"By the side of the proposed fast track many satellite cities can also be developed that will reduce the population concentration in the overcrowded Valley,” Joshi said, adding that a preliminary study showed that a tunnel – of a length of three-and-a-half kilometers – has to be constructed in a section of the proposed fast track at Gadhi Chour-Chisapani.
The idea of the constructing fast track road has been floated since Girija Prasad Koirala became the Prime Minister post 1990 movement but could not be materialised. "But this time, the locals are committed to construct the dream highway, Lamichhane — who also hails from Chitlang — said, adding that the locals whose land will be used for road and labourers will get share in the company.

Hello! This post couldn't be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this write-up to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your write-up. I would also love to say
this that the first thing you will need to perform
is determine if you really need credit restoration. To do that you will need to get
your hands on a copy of your credit rating. That
should never be difficult, since the government
necessitates that you are allowed to be issued one totally free copy of your real credit report every
year. You just have to consult the right men
and women. You can either find out from the website for the Federal Trade Commission or maybe
contact one of the main credit agencies directly.

Thanks for the recommendations on credit repair on this blog.
Some tips i would offer as advice to people is usually to give
up a mentality that they'll buy today and pay later. Being a society many of us tend to make this happen for many things. This includes family vacations, furniture, as well as items we really want to have. However, it is advisable to separate your own wants from the needs. While you're working to boost your credit score you have to make some sacrifices.

For example you possibly can shop online to save
cash or you can check out second hand suppliers instead of
expensive department stores to get clothing.

Just one thing I would choose to say is that purchasing gadgets items
in the Internet is certainly not new. In reality,
in the past decade alone, the marketplace for online consumer electronics has grown drastically.

Today, you will find practically any type of electronic device and devices on the
Internet, including cameras plus camcorders to computer components and gambling consoles.
