It includes construction of a drainage pipe of the road linking Lamjung and Tanahun districts, wall erection and side cutting related works.

A two-lane road from near Dumre Bazaar is being constructed as part of the road from Tanahun’s Dumre Bazaar to Lamjung. The construction of two-lane road from Dumre Bazaar to Chambas is being expedited in the first phase.
