The Foreign Minister has said that the BRI has not been implemented. After saying that the MCC will be implemented from August, a chill has entered China's heart. It has also been proved wrong that the ambassador said Pokhara airport under BRI.
Under MCC, transmission lines and substations at Ratmate, New Damauli and New Butwal are being constructed in Ratmate-Lapsiphedi-Hetaunda-New Damauli-New Butwal section. 77 km road from Bhaluwang in Dang to Shivkhola border in Banke is being upgraded.
Preparatory work like land acquisition, tree felling and contract agreement has not been completed. Entry into force will be implemented from next August, it is expected to be risky.
There is an analysis of some that the US grant through MCC ie MCA Nepal may go back if it is implemented without prior preparation.
Officials of MCA Nepal say - MCC should be taken to Parliament for approval. Why is it necessary to bring other contracts? There were loud disputes.In the one and a half years since the approval, many things have changed. MCC has started to understand that people's rural life is connected with cotton and the development of the country. As before, now MCC go home, not wanted is not heard. There is risk in infrastructure projects, risk should be simplified.
There is no problem in 11 districts including transmission line drawing, road construction, Dang. We have explained to the people how it works and moved forward.The opposition that was politicized in Lapsiphedi, Dang's Bhaluwang in the capital has been extinguished. There was a debate, there was a protest, because of this, people who did not want to hear or understand were able to hear and understand. The main acquisition is a complex process, it is believed to be facilitated through the local administration. Land acquisition, tree counting and felling in 315 km forest area will be done according to the law, it is believed that the risks that may come will be minimized if the law is followed.
Another thing is that no Chinese or other companies came in the contract process, only 6 Indian companies came. They are also those who have done various contracts in Nepal and have not done good work. This is a surprise. But we believe that this project will work enthusiastically. The Government of Nepal has full support for this project of national pride. Therefore, we believe that this project will be completed on time.
There have been cases on the Dana-Kushma line, Marsyangdi-Kathmandu and Bardghat-New Butwal lines. Why are we studying the case?
What kind of problems will arise in the construction of the tower in the 96 wards of the local level that will be affected by the transmission line is being studied. Looking at the future problems, we will move forward, we will be able to plan within 5 years. Although the price of copper, steel and zinc has increased due to the Russia-Ukraine war, it has been managed through the authority. Contrary to rumors, the audit will be done by the Auditor General's office.
