Parliamentary committees to study Pokhara and Gautam Buddha International Airports

June 28, Kathmandu: The Public Accounts Committee of the Federal Parliament has formed a separate sub-committee to conduct a comprehensive study of the two new international airports in Bhairahawa and Pokhara.

Chairperson of the committee Rishikesh Pokharel shared that two separate parliamentary sub-committees had been formed to study Gautam Buddha International Airport in Bhairahawa and the Pokhara International Airport.

According to Pokharel, a 12-member sub-committee had been formed under the coordination of MP Rajendra Prasad Lingden to study the Pokhara International Airport, and an eight-member sub-committee has been formed under the coordination of MP Yogesh Bhattarai to study the Gautam Buddha International Airport.

The sub-committees will conduct on-site monitoring to study the two airports to review why the projects of national pride made with huge investments could not give returns, said the secretary of the committee, Yekram Giri.
