Drinking water projects in Sudurpaschim left incomplete due to lack of budget

Over a hundred drinking water projects that were handed over by the federal government to the provincial government have not received additional budget.

Construction works on dozens of drinking water projects in Sudurpaschim Province have remained incomplete for the past decade. Mohan Kunwar, chief engineer at the Drinking Water and Sanitation Division Office in Dhangadhi, said works on most of the projects have been delayed due to a lack of budget.
