PM Karki Urges Development Without Harming Religious and Cultural Sites

Prime Minister Sushila Karki has emphasized that development and construction of road infrastructure should not affect religious beliefs and cultural heritage.

During an inspection of the Kathmandu–Terai Madhes Fast Track, a national pride project, at Khokana, Lalitpur today, the Prime Minister instructed that local concerns be taken seriously and solutions be sought accordingly. She also suggested that sufficient open space be ensured while constructing physical structures.

She stressed that it is necessary to carefully consider and address local interests and, if required, be prepared to adjust alignment and zero points. Army Chief Ashok Raj Sigdel and project chief Deputy Superintendent Dharmendra Jha briefed Prime Minister Karki on the project’s progress and the challenges faced so far.
