oh lord this project also fell t prey to nepali tendency of being late and getting embroiled with things. hope they get issues straightened out and refocus on building this road. chinese backed out because certain residents complained? in a way, iam happy that upper ring road did not materialize since if it had it, would have destroyied the beauty of the hills surrounding ktm valley. less road in and around ktm better, but we need some really good wider highways linking a and b.
