Electricity Poles Hamper Progress on Key Prithvi Highway Expansion Project
Summary
The expansion work on the Prithvi Highway's Nagdhunga-Mugling section is delayed due to the Nepal Electricity Authority's slow relocation of electricity poles, causing safety risks and work stoppages.
Key Points
- Electricity poles along the Prithvi Highway are obstructing the Nagdhunga-Mugling Road Project expansion.
- Relocation delays by the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) are stalling progress, especially in the eastern section.
- Approximately 100 out of 500 poles still require relocation, impacting the project's main section.
- Coordination issues between the Department of Roads, NEA, and contractors are exacerbating delays and safety concerns.
