Kathmandu, Nepal: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has made clear that the construction of Nijgadh-Kathmandu Fast Track (NKFT) will not be awarded to the foreign companies.
Prime Minister Dahal, who is also the chairman of the CPN (Maoist Center), has made the revelation during the meeting with the delegation of Rastriya Sarokar RSAN) Abhiyan Nepal.
I have not even thought of awarding the contract for the construction of NKFT to foreign companies, Dahal said while responding to the concerns of the RSAN.
There is a looming suspicion that the government would award the Indian company to construct the NKFT, the delegation of the RSAN had asked Dahal.
This is merely a rumor that the government is handing over the contract to foreign companies, which is completely baseless, Prime Minister Dahal said.
There was no need to be so proud as the decision made by the erstwhile government that Nepal will construct the Fast Track was taken on my initiatives, Dahal said indicating to the CPN UML chairman KP Sharma Oli.
During the function, Prime Minister Dahal also said that he will consult with experts on the issues of national importance before he leaves for India visit. I will take strategic and technical suggestions from the experts before embarking on India tour, he said.
