JAJARKOT, April 9:  Although the Department of Roads has started blacktopping the Chhinchu-Jajarkot road section, the road is going to remain incomplete as the department has no plan to construct nine bridges at various places along the section.



With support from the World Bank, the department has begun blacktopping the road from Pokhare to the district headquarters Khalanga. The black topping work is expected to be complete within 18 months. But without bridges the road will not be of much use. [break]

He also said the authorities concerned have turned a deaf ear when they raised the issue of bridges on several occasions.
