Karnali Corridor set for crucial bridges and blacktopping

This road remains critical for ending the geopolitical isolation of Humla where residents still depend on expensive airlifted supplies.

The government has secured Rs6.11 billion in budget funding for the long-awaited road upgrade and construction of bridges along the Karnali Corridor. The budget has been ensured for the construction of six bridges and the blacktopping of a 60-kilometre section of the strategic Karnali Corridor.
