Pokhara, April 12
Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Rabindra Adhikari says he is determined to implement the ambitious 100-day plan that he has introduced in order to reform sectors his ministry is responsible for.
“After I have been appointed the Minister,” he says, “We are expediting infrastructural development projects. We are also carrying out reconstruction activities at heritage sites. Just taken an example of Rani Pokhari. We have resolved all disputes.”
In an interview with Onlinekhabar in his home town of Pokhara, Adhikari also claims that he is meeting stakeholders including development partners like Asian Development Bank and contractors in order to clear roadblocks seen on the projects.
“The disputes do not end without doing anything. We must hold dialogues and discussions.”
He informs that he has also noticed traditional working style of staff and lack of vision and hard work in them. Therefore, he will also address these concerns too.
“As I had committed, I am also solving problems of the Tribhuvan International Airport gradually,” he says, “You will see the results in next 10 days.”
In another context, the Minister who represents Kaski district in the House of Representatives says he also has another plan to promote tourism activities in Pokhara, which has already been established as a tourism capital of the country.
