A detailed Detailed Project Report (DPR) has been finalized to widen a 20-kilometer section of the BP Highway from Dhulikhel to the Dapcha bridge in Kavrepalanchok district. Led by the Division Road Office, Bhaktapur, the upgrade will expand the current 5.5-meter blacktopped road to a 10-meter width. The total estimated cost of the expansion is approximately Rs 3.79 billion, with a per-kilometer cost of Rs 18.05 million. Compensation for structures and land up to 15 meters on both sides has already been distributed across Dhulikhel, Panchkhal, Panauti, and Namobuddha municipalities. Furthermore, permanent reconstruction works are progressing rapidly following the severe damage caused by floods and landslides in September 2024, alongside ongoing initial environmental examination reports.

Janakpur Starts Demolishing Encroachments on Guthi Ponds

On Saturday, August 22, 2026, the High-Level Task Force Report Implementation Committee launched a demolition drive to clear illegal structures encroaching upon Guthi-owned ponds and their embankments in Janakpur, Madhesh Province. Despite a prior seven-day ultimatum and public notices issued by authorities, occupants failed to voluntarily vacate the land, prompting the use of bulldozers starting with the Goddhoi pond. Led by an 11-member committee formed by the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives, and Poverty Alleviation, the campaign aims to enforce the 2062 task force report by removing unauthorized buildings across 49 targeted ponds. While authorities target reclaiming public and religious trust lands, local residents express growing psychological distress and fear of displacement, exacerbated by similar recent urban crackdowns elsewhere in the country.
