Doti: Locals of Bogtan Foodsil Rural Municipality-1, Simchaur, Doti have submitted a memorandum to the rural municipality to complete the construction of a road connecting Katai Pokhartola to the Karnali-Seti highway, demanding the allocation of the necessary amount in the budget for the upcoming fiscal year 2083/84.

In the recommendation letter sent by Ward No. 1 Office to the rural municipality chair, it is mentioned that although the road cutting work has started with budget allocation in the previous fiscal years, the road has not yet reached Seti highway.

The memorandum submitted by the locals states that the road is important not only for the Kattai settlement but also for the development of the entire Bogtan region, transportation of forest products, easy supply of materials required for infrastructure construction, marketing of agricultural products and promotion of tourism. It is believed that once the road is connected to the Seti Highway, the movement of local citizens will be facilitated, economic activities will expand and the economic progress of the entire region will be supported.
