Chitwan. Work has been done to bring four bridges on the Mugling-Malekhu road section of the Prithvi Highway into operation in the coming June. The general work of those bridges has been completed. According to Sachindra Mishra, Information Officer at the Western Section Office of the Nagdhunga-Mugling Road Project, the bridges over Khahare Khola, Chiraundi Khola, Gomati Khola, and Hugdi Khola are planned to be operational by June.
