What ails construction projects in Nepal?

Taxpayers have every right to expect roads and bridges that do not get washed away with the first rain.

Rain, sun or snow, most of Nepal remains a huge haphazard construction site throughout the year. Also, one doesn’t need to be an "all knowing" engineer or a mega builder or top contractor to point out that all’s not well in what’s going on in the name of construction: It’s disappointing and not a happy scene, certainly not a matter of pride. Even if there’s an abundant supply of manpower, machines, materials, methods and money, why do most projects start floundering before taking wing, or why do construction works get excruciatingly delayed beyond redemption?
