Baburam Bhattarai demands immediate construction of Benighat-Aarughat-Larke road, stalled for 18 years

Former Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai has demanded immediate construction of the Benighat-Aarughat-Larke (Ruhila) road, which has been stalled for 18 years.

The road connects to Tibet, China, via Chumnubri Rural Municipality in northern Gorkha. Bhattarai raised the issue of delays in the road's construction while making this demand.

Even 18 years after construction of the Benighat-Aarughat-Larke road began, the work has not been completed. Bhattarai said the road must be built immediately without further delay.

The road, which links Gorkha's northern region with Tibet, China, has remained stalled for a long time.
