Unlike previous governments, this govenment at least started something. Its a
very good news for Nepalese people who were tired of hearing fake
promises.Finally, we have a government which has started some action. Great job.
Best of luck yo Mr. Madav Kumar Nepal and all the cabinet minister.

Great awesome job finally be this government and thank to Tourism ministry which
initiated the 2011 as TOurism year with aim to bring 1 million tourists in
Nepal. So this fast track started because of this as far I can see because of
Chitwan National Park and the safari tour so many of tourists visit Chitwan
every year.

this government should find out the way how this coalition becomes national
unity government.if it inducts umlcpn maoists into cabinet then and only then
its job is don well,otherwise its gossips useless.the other thing is it should
be free of corruption .any undertaking by na if it dips down to selfish there is
no diffrences like other scandle of national corruption.peace and consution
fortion is a challenge, still main fundamental of the nrw changes are far away.
thapa  - management of the residents, alongside the road   |150.93.242.xxx |2009-11-09 21:27:32
It's a good news for us, as it will be a first fast track road.. but problems
might occur if the residents alongside the road are not managed, and it might
become like the other highways, such as illegal ocupation of the road sides. so
road should not be managed well within a strict law, so that n illegal
occupation takes place and offers a safety and speedy travel for the traffics..
