Integrated Masterplan for Kathmandu Valley

Kathmandu Valley Development Authority has begun preparing an integrated master plan for the development of the Kathmandu Valley comprising three districts.

This plan is included in the annual plan and programme of the government in the ongoing fiscal year as well. The Nest Jiyocon Paragon JV has been awarded the contract for preparing an integrated masterplan, said Authority’s information officer engineer Saurav Dhakal.

Dhakal was confident that Kathmandu Valley could be made green clean and beautiful after the implementation of the masterplan while all 18 municipalities within the Valley will feel more convenient to deliver.

The local level in those municipalities will be responsible to implement the master plan too, the Authority said.

A total of Rs 90 million has been allocated for preparing an integrated master plan that commenced a month ago. The deadline for preparing the master plan is 15 months from the time of commencement, according to the Authority.
