In addition, blacktopping has gained momentum in 13.5-km road from Sribhawar-Hat section.
The road section would be used as a fast track to connect the folks of Bajhang, Purchaudi municipality, Sigas municipality and Surnaya rural municipality with Baitadi district headquarters.
As the road would be used as a short-cut way to reach Indian border, Jhulaghat, it has a potential to spur trade and business, former chairperson of Surnaya rural municipality, Bir Bahadur Bista.
