'The local government has given priority to the development of the ruined fort area. Most of the construction work of the fort will be completed within the next two years. Along with the development of the historic site, we are in a campaign to introduce its strategic importance to the world, 'said Chief Khatri.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief District Officer Yogendra Prasad Pandey recalled the historic moment when Nepal was saved from the British colonization due to the brave Gorkhali army and said that a victory celebration should be organized to preserve its importance.
Welcoming the gathering, Manju Devkota, Deputy Chief of the Municipality, said that the victory celebrations had to be organized in a normal way this year due to corona, maintaining health security and social distance.
