The Road Division Office in Nepalgunj has issued a 30-day ultimatum for the removal of all illegal structures encroaching on the Jamunaha–Nepalgunj–Chisapani highway. This action aims to address increasing road accidents caused by the encroachments, with the Department of Roads prepared to demolish structures and recover costs if compliance is not met.

  • The ultimatum covers the 33-kilometer stretch of the highway from Jamunaha at the Nepal-India border through Nepalgunj and Kohalpur to Chisapani Bazaar.
  • Specific clearance zones are defined: 25 meters on both sides from the road center line for most stretches, and 21 meters for the section between Ganeshman Chowk and Karkado Chowk, and Kohalpur's central market.
  • The Public Roads Act 2031 prohibits permanent or temporary structures within national highway boundaries.
  • Nepalgunj Sub-Metropolitan City had already commenced phased encroachment removal for footpath construction.
  • Failure to remove structures within 30 days will result in demolition by the Department of Roads, with costs to be recovered from the responsible parties.
