Subsequently, SAARC Regional Multimodal Transport Study (SRMTS) has been conducted with a view to enhance transport connectivity among the Member States of SAARC to promote intra-regional trade and travel. SRMTS is a comprehensive Study covering all modes of transport - road, rail, maritime, aviation and inland waterways. The Report of the SRMTS has been appreciated by the higher SAARC bodies and its recommendations have now been prioritized. The SAARC Leaders have called for early implementation of the recommendations contained in the Study. I am also pleased to mention that action is being taken to extend SRMTS to include Afghanistan. I commend the national and regional consultants for conducting the Study successfully. I also wish to express my appreciation to the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for providing technical and financial assistance (under ADB RETA 6187: Promoting South Asian Regional Economic Cooperation) in conducting the SRMTS. The Report of SRMTS is a rich source of reference containing information on transport connectivity and its relevance to socio-economic development in South Asia.

  • 2.3 Nepal Road Network
    2.3 Nepal Road Network Overview Primary Roads in Nepal Major Road Construction Projects Distance Matrix Road Security Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits Road Class and Surface Conditions Province 1 Province 2 Bagmati Province Gandaki Province Province 5 Karnali Province Sudurpashchim Province Overview Roads are the predominant mode of transport in Nepal. Road network of Nepal is categorized into the strategic road network (SRN), which comprises of highways and feeder roads, and the local road network (LRN), comprising of district roads and Urban roads. Nepal’s road network consists of about 64,500 km of roads. Of these, about 13,500 km belong to the SRN, the core network of national highways and feeder roads connecting district headquarters. (Picture : Nepal Road Standard 2070) The network density is low, at 14 kms per 100 km2 and 0.9 km per 1,000 people. 60% of the road network is concentrated in the lowland (Terai) areas. A Department of Roads (DoR’s) survey shows that 50% of the population of the hill areas still must walk two hours to reach an SRN road. Two of the 77 district headquarters, namely Humla, and Dolpa are yet to be connected to the SRN. Page 1 (Source: Sector Assessment [Summary]: Road Transport) Primary Roads in Nepal S. Rd.

  • Usage of Man-Made Underpass by Wildlife
    Forestry Journal of Institute of Forestry, Nepal Issue No. 17 Usage of Man-Made Underpass by Wildlife:... Usage of Man-Made Underpass by Wildlife: A Case Study of Narayanghat-Muglin Road Section Santosh Paudel1*, Bishnu Prasad Devkota2, Babu Ram Lamichhane3, Suman Bhattarai2, Pratikshya Dahal2 and Anjila Lamichhane1 Abstract: Natural areas are increasingly fragmented and degraded globally due to increasing anthropogenic pressure. Linear infrastructures such as roads, railways, canals, and transmission lines are major causes for such fragmentation resulting in population isolation, habitat connectivity loss, and gene pool shrinkage. Various mitigation measures are adopted to minimize such effects. The first such mitigation measure (an underpass) has been constructed along the Narayanghat – Ramnagar, and Ramnagar – Jugedi section of the Narayanghat-Muglinroad (section connecting two national highways; Prithvi and Mahendra highway). The effectiveness of these underpasses was assessed using a camera trap picture of wildlife movement during March and April 2019. Key informant interviews (n=14) were also carried out to understand the abundance of recorded species in the local forest. With 37 trap nights of sampling effort, seven mammalian species were recorded and among them, wild boar was found with the highest independent images (35). A total of 31 independent images (70.4 %) captured during the night hours showed that manmade underpasses were used more during the night. Confirmation of usages of these underpasses supports the study to indicate the necessities of underpasses while constructing roads that pass and traverse the wildlife habitat. Keywords: Barandabhar corridor, camera trapping, wildlife usage, underpass, temporal pattern Paudel, S., Devkota, B. P., Lamichhane, B. R., Bhattarai, S., Dahal, P.

The miserable condition of the farmers is largely attributed to those who have been in power for long. I, however, want to place on record that our Government has been making every effort to double the farmers' income. We have enhanced the Minimum Support Price and did take a decision to provide an amount of Rs.6000/- to each and every farmer under Kisan Maan Dhan Yojana irrespective of the parcel of land under his possession and have brought it into force.
