The Prime Minister said that two layers of perceptions were seen regarding the level of the international airport while preparing its construction estimate, creating some confusion.
Prime Minister Dr Bhattarai said that construction of the international airport was slightly delayed due to some procedural complexities on loan assistance from the Export Import Bank of China.
Locals of Pokhara have been staging a relay hunger strike for weeks by forming International Airport Construction Concerns Committee to exert pressure on the government for the construction of the international airport.
The Prime Minister expressed confidence that issue would be resolved soon by holding fresh discussions with the high-level Chinese representatives and added that he had also discussed with official concerned and Chinese representatives on Sunday.
