The District Monitoring Committee Nawalpur has directed authorities to manage excavation works in the Narayani River, citing rampant extraction exceeding permitted limits and occurring in unapproved locations. Despite previous suggestions, no satisfactory improvement was observed. The committee noted the use of more excavators than stipulated, the need for proper record-keeping of extracted materials, and instructed that transportation should prevent spillage and be covered. Officials were unaware of dam construction altering the river's course but acknowledged the necessity of access routes for material transport.
