Kathekhola residents struggle with dust and inconvenience from unfinished road for 26 years

Two contractor companies failed to complete the work despite multiple term extensions. Officials say they are working to hire new contractors.

Rita Sharma, a 30-year-old local from Suldanda in ward 6 of Kathekola Rural Municipality in Baglung district, has been suffering from dust mite allergy along with respiratory complications due to the dust and pollution coming from the under-construction Khahare-Ghodabandhe road under the Mid-Hill Highway.
