Kathmandu, March 28
In Lalitpur Municipal Corporation Ward No. 22, a suspension bridge has been built to link the religious, cultural, and tourism regions. Pampha Bhusal, the Minister of Energy, Water Resources, and Irrigation, officially opened the suspension bridge today.
The 135-meter-long bridge was built at a cost of Rs. 79 lakh 76 thousand 789. The valley’s suspension bridges have long been a tourist draw. The building of the bridge between Karyabinayak and Machhindrabahal is expected to aid in the promotion of tourism.
Tourists found it difficult to visit Karyabinayak and Machhindrabahal due to a shortage of bridges in the area previously. With the completion of the bridge, it is now feasible to travel between the two locations in a short amount of time. Locals believe that the bridge’s completion will make it easier for both internal and external tourists to visit both locations.
The entrance of international tourists will aid in the globalization of Nepal’s handicrafts, woodwork, and sculpture, as tourism operations in the region expand. The bridge was built on Minister Bhusal’s proposal, using funds from the local infrastructure development program.
Minister Bhusal, who inaugurated the bridge, expressed optimism that the link between religious and tourism areas will aid in the preservation of Nepalese handicrafts, woodwork, and sculpture. She also stated that the suspension bridge will be a key component in promoting both external and internal tourism. Minister Bhusal asked residents to initiate the ‘One House, One Tourist’ campaign, which would target both domestic and international visitors.
”It not only generates revenue, but it also aids in the development of Nepalese art and culture. It also aids in the promotion of local products ”she stated.
Ambir Raj Shakya, Ward Chairman of Ward No. 22, said the bridge was built to connect two visitors with a strong potential for religion and culture. He expressed gratitude to the administration for supporting the residents’ ambitions.
