The Deukhuri valley covers Rapti and Gadhawa rural municipalities of Dang and the plain area on the bank of the Rapti River lying in Sheetaganga Municipality of Arghakhanchi district. Presenting the proposal, Minister KC hoped that a consensus would be forged on the name and the permanent capital of State 5, stating these as the most appropriate choice.
