Process to Determine the Central Axis of Birgunj’s Main Road Begins Today

April 28, Birgunj – The process to determine the central axis of the major road, Tribhuvan Rajpath, in Birgunj has commenced today to better organize the road expansion. A joint meeting of stakeholders held on Monday decided to identify the central point based on official maps and to install steel markers at that location to clarify and improve the expansion work.

Presided over by Metropolitan Chief Rajesh Kumar Singh, the meeting included representatives from the District Administration Office, Road Division Office of Hetauda, and Survey Office of Parsa. Despite some structures being removed during the road widening, the exact center of the road had remained unclear, causing confusion among local residents. Questions about how far structures should be removed had been raised for some time.

With the official center now identified according to the map, it is expected to be easier to maintain equal distances on the right and left sides of the road, ensuring the necessary width. This initiative is anticipated to make the expansion process more transparent and free of disputes.

The Road Division Office of Hetauda has provided the technical and physical materials needed for measurements, while the Survey Office of Parsa is handling the mapping and measurement tasks. According to Engineer Bhola Prasad Sah of the Road Division Office, formal measurements began this morning. A joint task force consisting of members from the Road Division Office, Survey Office, District Administration Office, and Birgunj Metropolitan City has been established to coordinate all stages from measurement to implementation.

Earlier, on April 19, bulldozers were used to remove houses and structures along the stretch from Gandak to Customs to facilitate the widening. With the central axis now defined, the road expansion work is expected to accelerate significantly.
