The District Monitoring Committee Nawalpur has directed authorities to manage excavation works in the Narayani River, citing rampant extraction exceeding permitted depths and locations. Despite previous suggestions, improvements were not observed, with more excavators and trippers used than stipulated, leading to excessive material extraction. Officials instructed proper record-keeping, secure transportation of materials, and noted that dam construction to alter the river's course was not previously known, with plans to dismantle it post-excavation.
