GORKHA, Jan 10: The Manaslu Conservation Area Project (MCAP) Office, Gorkha, which was entrusted with the responsibility of conserving the Manaslu area in northern Gorkha, has been given an extension after almost three and a half years of confusion.
The period has been extended for the next five years. MCAP Chief Santosh Sherchan said, "There was a problem due to the confusion over whether the office would cease to exist as the decision to extend the deadline was not taken since June 2019.”
Misuse of reservation quota rampant
A Cabinet meeting on December 21 last year decided to extend the timeline till mid-July 2028. With this, it will be easier to carry out the project work by preparing an action plan, he said.
MCAP has been responsible for the conservation, promotion, and management of the Manaslu area.
