Poudel further mentioned, &#8220;The plan is to expand the irrigation facilities to over 150,000 hectares of arable land in Rupandehi, Nawalparasi and Kapilvastu districts of Lumbni Province by diverting water from Kaligandaki River into Tinau River besides generating around 150 megawatt of electricity from this project&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He added that some disgruntled parties had filed a writ petition against the project during DPR development of the project which had stalled the progress of the project. &#8220;Now the court has delivered a verdict in favour of advancing the project,&#8221; Poudel remarked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On a different note, he urged one and all not to spread false and negative rumours regarding operation of the Bhairahawa&#8217;s Gautam Buddha International Airport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Underscoring the significance of this international airport for enhancing connectivity, he assured that its operation will not be halted at any cost.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Hospital has been rendering OPD services to around 1,200 patients on a daily basis and conducting 150 eye surgeries on an average, informed Kamal Raj Joshi, Chairperson of the Nepal Netra Jyoti Sangh, Rupandehi.
