Infrastructure Projects in Chitwan Face Stoppage Due to Rising Costs

Chitwan. A total of 125 infrastructure projects managed by the Infrastructure Development Office, Chitwan, are on the verge of suspension. The surge in prices for fuel and essential construction materials has made it impossible to continue work on these contracts.According to Office Chief Birendra Kumar Chaudhary, out of 267 projects under the office, 217 are currently under contract and in operation. He stated that 125 of these are now facing potential closure. He attributed this to the significant rise in fuel prices and shortages of bitumen compared to the time when the contracts were signed.Chief Chaudhary said,
