Construction of 12 km road to Tipling has been completed. The road has crossed Pasngang Pass which is situated at the height of 3,727 meters.
The construction of 28 km long road was initiated in March of 2017. Penetrating and breaking massive rocks through Narchyat, 9 km road from Somdang to Pangsang was completed on 22nd December 2017. Women’s Group of Tipling had enthusiastically reached Pangsang to conduct appreciation program for NJSI team walking 4 hours uphill from Tipling.
As of today, the road has reached 3km down from Pangsang to a place called Mherghang. JCB operator, Mr. Pradip Basnet who has been living at the construction site from day one reports that snowy weather has been a hindrance slowing down the pace of construction. Yet, he is confident that the rest will be constructed within six months.
With the enhancement in road construction, locals have already started planning agricultural and business enterprise. NJSI is happy to see our vision of improving locals’ livelihood taking its shape.
