पूर्वाधार आयोजनामा भीआईपीहरूको ‘फिल्ड भिजिट’ मोह, नतिजामुखी कि दिक्दारी ?

Infrastructure Minister Sunil Lamsal recently conducted an on-site inspection of the Kamala Bridge, which connects Siraha and Dhanusha districts. Despite his visit, local residents expressed little enthusiasm regarding the official assessment. This lack of public optimism stems from the fact that Lamsal is the eighteenth minister to visit the same site for inspection purposes. The recurring trend of high-ranking officials visiting ongoing infrastructure projects has raised questions about the actual impact of these trips. Critics argue that such frequent visits often fail to expedite construction or provide tangible results for the public. Instead, these inspections are increasingly viewed as performative gestures that burden local administration rather than addressing core developmental delays.

The report highlights a growing public frustration with the performative nature of political site inspections that fail to translate into meaningful progress for critical infrastructure projects.
