Summary
The construction of the integrated customs building at Rasuwagadhi border between Nepal and China has been delayed for ten years, with only 65% progress made so far.

- Only 65 percent physical progress has been achieved according to the project chief.
- Delays are due to the construction company's lack of initiative, worker shortages, and natural events like floods and landslides.
