Vehicular movement along the Barpak-Laprak section in Gorkha has been closed from today.

The road linking Barpak of Barpak Sulikot Rural Municipality-1 and Laprak of Dharche Rural Municipality-4 has been closed for two days from today for its upgrading. 

Chairperson of Dharche Rural Municipality-4, Kisan Gurung, said the construction company, Sharma-Vicky JV Construction Company, is constructing different structures by closing the vehicular movement for two days.

Gurung shared that vehicles have been urged to use alternative routes.

Passengers have been facing problems in lack of completion of the road section on time. The road section used to remain closed for months during the rainy season every year due to delay in road upgrading tasks.

Though the contract was signed in Jeth, 2072 BS in order to complete the road construction by Jeth, 2079 BS, it has not been completed so far.
