Summary
Karnali Province has begun construction of the long-delayed Karnali Singh Durbar in Surkhet, a modern integrated office complex meant to house provincial ministries and improve service delivery.

- The new provincial complex is designed to house ministries, offices, public facilities, parking, fire safety systems, and other modern infrastructure.
- Earlier plans for the project were approved during the tenure of then Chief Minister Mahendra Bahadur Shahi, and the cost estimate has risen significantly since then.
