Laying the foundation stone amid a function, Bank's Governor Dr Chiranjibi Nepal urged the contractor to complete the project in time. He also expressed happiness at the project taking progress despite hurdles in the first place.
Joint Secretary of the National Reconstruction Authority Raju Man Manandhar said that there was a delay in reconstructing the building due to a lengthy process by the Department of Archaeology.
