A new building has been completed at Prabha Secondary School located in Narachyang, Annapurna Rural Municipality–4, Myagdi.

Building Features and Budget Details

The earthquake-resistant building has 16 rooms.

Chairperson Gurung stated that construction work had been halted after the federal government did not allocate a budget under the Special Grant heading in fiscal year 2081/82. The project was completed after the remaining Rs 18.4 million was allocated in the current fiscal year.

Payment Issue Raised by Contractor

Although the building was completed on time, the contractor has complained of not receiving payment due to the government not releasing the budget.
