Humla, November 13

Chief Minister of Karnali Province, Mahendra Bahadur Shahi, arrived in Simikot of Humla on Tuesday along with a Chinese team for the feasibility study of road and railway connecting India and China via Nepal.

According to the District Administration Office, the team comprising Chief Minister Shahi and Chinese technicians arrived here to carry out the feasibility study of road and railway from Taklakot of Tibet to Jamunah of Nepalgunj, bordering with India.

The Chinese government has taken the route as the main international highway linking two countries from north to south as it is the shortest route linking the north and south transit points of the country.

Few months back, Chief Minister Shahi had visited China at the invitation of the Chinese government, during which he had held discussions with the Chinese officials, mainly on promoting cooperation in road construction and hydroelectricity sectors.
