Nepal All Set To Enter Tunnel Era

If not for everyone, at least the people living in Kathmandu and nearby districts, have received in some ways, good news with the ushering in of the new Nepali Year of 2081 BS. The first news is the final breakthrough in the opening of the tunnel linking a highly congested area in the gateway of Kathmandu to the highway at a place in Dhading. The other is the decision to open two highly commercial and touristic places of Kathmandu for twenty four hours daily. Both these news have been welcomed by most people and they expect better things to happen in the country in the years to come. Of course there are some who are not happy, especially with the decision to open Thamel and Durbar Marga for twenty four hours, but for a country like Nepal, which wishes to further develop its tourism sector, this is a positive development.
