Kathmandu, Jun 21
Minister for Physical Infrastructure and
Transport and Urban Development Basanta Kumar Nembang has said that the
construction sector would be allowed to function as in the normal period.
“This sector should be in action. Formulate
a work plan to conduct the construction work during the pandemic with the
application of necessary health measures,” he directed the Department of Urban
Development and Building Construction and project chiefs while inspecting the
new minister-residence in Bhainsepati of Lalitpur district the other day.
He assured the infrastructure developer and
construction sector companies of no problems in the transportation of materials
and human resources. The government has already made a decision to this effect,
he said.
“If there are any problems, I myself will
coordinate with the concerned agencies,” said Minister Nembang.
According to the ministry, the existing
ministers’ residence in Pulchowk was not sufficient to accommodate all the
ministers and the government is developing new residence in an area of 124.6
ropanis of land in Bhainsepati.
The first sector in Bhainsepati will have
24 blocks for the residence of ministers, chair and vice-chair of the National
Assembly and Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Second sector will have the contact offices
of the governors and chief ministers of the states. It will have seven blocks.
All buildings will be two and a half storeys.
Estimated cost of the ministers’ residence
is Rs. 1.34 billion and contact offices’ Rs. 724.7 million.
