Upgrade of Crucial Mustang Road Section Stalls Again Amid Contractor Delays

Mustang. The upgrade work on the 17-kilometer paved section of the national pride road connecting North-South (Beny-Jomsom-Korala), specifically the segment linking Kowang in Thasang Rural Municipality-2 to Jomsom in Ward-4 of Gharphazong, Mustang, has been abandoned once again.

The stagnation of the road upgrade work is due to repeated delays and negligence by the construction company responsible for the fourth section of the 74-kilometer Beny-Jomsom road, which is part of the Kaligandaki Corridor (Beny-Jomsom-Korala) Road Project.
