Melamchi talks


The Asian Development Bank (ADB) said Monday it is continuing talks with donors on ways to resume the Melamchi Drinking Water Project. The project stalled after main donors Norway and Sweden pulled out following the king's February First move. ADB Country Director Sultan Hafez Rahman told journalists in Kathmandu that the bank is still committed to completing the project to furnish the Valley with drinking water, reported Kantipur online. He added that he is eagerly awaiting the verdict of the Supreme Court on the case concerning former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and his cabinet colleague Prakash Man Singh. In August, both were found guilty of corruption and jailed over the project after a probe by the Royal Commission for Corruption Control, which was created after 1 February.
