Twenty-nine water supply projects have been completed in Tanahu and Nawalpur in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24, the Water Supply and Sanitation Division Office said. These projects were constructed under the supervision of the Office.

Engineer at the Division Office Binu Lohani said these projects include 19 projects funded by the Gandaki province government in Tanahu and nine in Nawalpur, and one project in Tanahu funded by the federal government.

A total of 215 projects, including 152 in Tanahu and 63 in Nawalpur, are being constructed in the current fiscal as the carry-over projects from last fiscal year, funded by the province government.

Towards the federal government-funded projects, 53 projects in Tanahu and 21 in Nawalpur are currently under construction.

Engineer Lohani said that most of the projects are incomplete due to shortage of budget for the projects, dispute over the water source and other causes.
