Rural areas in Banke getting good access to road network

Banke : Construction of road network in and around Nepalgunj Sub-Metropolitan City is taking a good pace, which has contributed to the other development infrastructures. Recently, 116 kilometres of road in the city is blacktopped and the development infrastructures in the rural areas too have made significant progress.
