With the construction of the bridge there, the walking distance from Kadesh village to Lekhani has been reduced to 10 minutes from one and a half hours. Prem Bahadur Shreesh, a local resident, said that students of Lekhani Secondary School have hugely benefited from the bridge, which is 359 meters long and 95 meters tall.


The bridge connecting the two villages was built at a cost of Rs 29.3 million by Gandaki Province Government. Outgoing ward chairperson of Kathekhola Rural Municipality-8, Chitra Kumari Shreesh said some 400 households in the locality have benefited while health care services, public services from the ward offices and education have become accessible to those people.
