Kathmandu, March 5
The Pashupati Area Development Trust is set to reconstruct the Jayabageswori Temple, one of the holy structures of the World Heritage site.
PADT decided to reconstruct the temple, located just outside the core Pashupati area, on its own after the donor who signed an MoU with the Trust for the project did not start work 34 months after the earthquake, said PADT member-secretary Dr Pradeep Dhakal.
“The donor who took responsibility for the temple’s reconstruction has sought that the agreement be terminated. Dialogue is underway with the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) in this connection. The PADT will begin the reconstruction work within this fiscal year,” he said.
It may be noted that the PADT had given its approval to Adventure Tours and Travels’ Kalyan Sharma to rebuild the within a month after the April 2015 Earthquake.
