Nepal, July 3 -- Activities for the road expansion on Sanga-Dhulikhel road section along the Araniko Highway have been halted due to monsoon.

However, road expansion has been obstructed at Poolbazaar area on the road section for the past four months due to protest from locals.

The road expansion drive has not progressed in around 200 meters due to some reservations of locals.

Project engineer Bishnu Prasad Khanal said though discussions were frequently held with stakeholders, including people's representatives of the municipality and local residents, but have ended without any concrete results.
