Complete Pokhara International Airport on time: Prime Minister Oli directs officials

Pokhara, July 19

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has directed officials from the Pokhara International Airport Project to complete the construction work on time.

Oli, who landed in Pokhara on Thursday, reminded officials that test flights from the new airport need to be carried out before July 2021. “The airport is an international one and everything should be of international standard,” the Prime Minister said. He told local officials to procure more land for the project if it was required.

Spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office Binod Bahadur Kunwar informed that the PM will now visit projects of national importance and pride. “The ministries and departments concerned have been monitoring the projects for a long time. Despite this, there are complaints that the quality of work is compromised. That is why the Prime Minister himself will monitor progress made in important projects,” Kunwar said.

According to the project, 15 per cent of the construction work has been completed so far.
