- The Office of the Auditor General flagged slow progress in 17 priority transformational projects across economic, social, infrastructure, and governance sectors.
- The Galchhi–Trishuli–Mailung–Syafrubesi road project is only 64% complete due to local obstructions and land disputes, despite missing its deadline.
