ABOUT MAHENDRA HIGHWAY

Roads are very necessary for the development of a country.We do not have many goods roads in our country .This is why our country is still undeveloped .If we want to develop our country .We must construct good roads in all parts.Our country extends from the Mechi in the east to the Mahakali in the west.We do not have a road connecting the eastern and the western frontier.We have to go to many parts of our country through India.This a great obstacle of the development of trade and industry in our country .King Mahendra realized the difficulty and conceived the project of the East –West Highway in 2019 v.s.This Highway was later named the Mahendra Rajmarg.
The projected highway will extend from the Mechi to the Mahakali.It will cover the entire length of the country.It will pass through many important places at the foothills.This highway is a big project. It will take some years to be completed .It will be completed in stages .We cannot finance the entire project. We require the assistance of other countries and associations.The construction of the highway has already been completed in different sectors.Friendly countries have come forward with help. They have constructed different parts of the highway.The British have constructed the part from Narayanghat to Butwal.The Russians have completed the sector from Simra to Janakpur .The Indians have completed the highway from Janakpur to the Mechi and also from Butwal to Nepalgunj.We hope other countries also will offer aid.
The Mahendra Highway will be the life-line of the country .It will connect different parts of the country.People of different parts will be able to travel from one part to another.Different parts of the country will have contact with one another.People of different parts will be able to know one another and learn from one another.This will help the growth of national unity and co-operation.The Mahendra Highway will help the growth of trade and industry.Goods will be easily transported from one part to another.Industries will develop at favourable places.The highway will help the industries by supplying raw materials and transporting finished goods to different parts of the country.This goods manufactured in one part will be easily and cheaply sent to all parts of the country.
The Mahendra Highway will help the construction of feeder roads.Roads extending north and south and leading to the highway will be built.Nowadays,there is a shotage of such roads .When north-south roads are built ,the people form the backward northern regions will travel to the highway and hence to other parts.The people of the northern regions will have contact with the people of other parts and will be able to develop themselves like the people of other parts.
