According to Nepal Railway Company General Manager Niranjhan Jha, talks are underway for re-promulgating the ordinance to pave the way for the project inauguration.

The ordinance relating to the operation of railway service was promulgated on December 1, 2021 by the President on the recommendation of the government. It was issued in accordance with the Article 114 (1) of the Constitution. As per the provision, the ordinance shall be tabled at the Federal Parliament session within 60 days of the first meeting of both Houses.
