Industry Minister reiterates commitment to construct dry port



KANCHANPUR: Minister for Industry, Commerce and Supplies, Damodar Bhandari, has said the construction of a dry port in Dodhara Chandani of Kanchanpur district will commence soon.

During his inspection of the site of the proposed Dodhara Chandani Dry Port today, the Minister said the progress in the project is likely within a couple of months as the Council of Ministers has already given permission to use the land of the Mayapuri community forest – the buffer zone area of the Shuklaphanta National Park, for the dry port construction.

Bhandari said the government is set to open the Taklakot point in Bajhang and Tinker transit point in Darchula, adding that this initiative is expected to benefit not only the Sudurpaschim Province but also contribute to the nation’s economic growth.
