Structures built at cost of millions remain unused
Summary
Several structures built in Gulmi at a cost of nearly Rs. 10 million have remained unused for years, raising concerns over wasted public funds. Resunga Municipality now says it may take responsibility for operating the idle facilities after private operators failed to step forward.
Key Points
- Several public structures in Gulmi, including a 3D park, Lakuri Manch site, selfie tower and tree house, have remained unused despite costing nearly Rs. 10 million.
- The 3D Park in Tamghas alone cost Rs. 5.5 million, with the municipality spending over Rs. 1 million more on maintenance.
- Authorities say the structures were built without long-term planning and have been neglected after losing their initial appeal.
- Resunga Municipality Mayor Khil Dhwoj Panthi says the local government may allocate its own budget to operate and protect the facilities.
