Kathmandu, 10 September: Works are in progress under the Nagdhunga- Sisnekhola tunnel way project even amidst the restrictions put in place to stem the spread of coronavirus pandemic. This is the first tunnel way in the road infrastructure of the country.

Construction works have been continued by keeping the workers in close camp at the construction site. The Japanese construction company, Hazma Aangdo Corporation, is undertaking the construction. It is carrying on with the construction with the available human resources at present. Nearly 200 workers are at work on the site these days.

According to the Department of Roads, there is no dearth of human resources for proceeding ahead with the works on the project. The Company had already arranged for the human resources and equipment before the lockdown.
The project’s physical progress is around four per cent till date since the construction started 10 months back. The target was to make physical progress of seven to eight per cent. It is said the low progress is because of several problems have been encountered by the project even though the construction itself is not hampered as such.
