Lumbini-Khani Bright JV is constructing the Rylae-Kushadevi-Panauti-Dahaltar road section at the cost of Rs 388.31 million. A contract has been signed to complete the construction by mid-March 2021. As informed, the road will be linked with BP Highway via the route of Gwarko of Lalitpur and Chaukidanda of Kavrepalanchowk.
