A joint task force will collaborate throughout the surveying and implementation phases.
14 Baisakh, Birgunj – The demarcation of the centerline for the main road, Tribhuvan Rajpath, in Birgunj will commence from Tuesday. A joint meeting of stakeholders held on Monday at Birgunj Metropolitan Office approved the demarcation of the road centerline and the installation of steel markers to facilitate road widening. The meeting was chaired by Metropolitan Chief Rajeshman Singh and included representatives from the District Administration Office, Road Division Office Hetauda, and the Survey Office of Parsa.
During the road expansion process, although some structures were removed, the exact centerline of the road remained unclear, causing uncertainty among local residents. There had been consistent requests for clarification regarding “how far the structures needed to be removed.” To resolve this issue, the official centerline will now be identified based on the authorized map of Tribhuvan Rajpath. Once demarcated, equal distances on both sides will ensure the road width is properly maintained. This move is expected to make the road expansion process more transparent and less contentious.
The necessary technical and physical materials for surveying will be provided by the Road Division Office in Hetauda, while mapping and measurement responsibilities will be handled by the Survey Office of Parsa. According to Engineer Bhola Prasad Sah from the Road Division Office Hetauda, the formal survey will start Tuesday morning. Additionally, a joint task force comprising members from the Road Division Office, Survey Office, District Administration Office, and Birgunj Metropolitan Office has been formed. This task force will coordinate all phases from surveying through to implementation.
Previously, during the widening effort last Sunday, the Road Division Office had used a bulldozer to clear houses and settlements along the stretch from Gandak to the customs area.
