He warned the construction company that the contract agreement would be annulled if the road construction was not completed and up to the mark, and not handed over within a month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The contract was signed in 2014 and the road expansion should have been completed by 2016, but there is no room for satisfaction looking at the present condition of the road despite extension of the deadline seven times,&#8221; the DPM and Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport said, adding, &#8220;you have also observed the poor condition of the road and dissatisfaction as well as annoyance of the people today; we are serious on this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stating that the construction company has neglected the construction of the Bhaktapur-Nagarkot road, he said extra time would not be given if the dillydally in the construction of the road continued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">DPM Shrestha said they would immediately sit with the construction company and discuss about the issue, review the work progress and take an appropriate decision.

There have been shortcomings on our part as well. We will undertake the construction works day and night, complete the project and hand it over within one month.
