The main body of the Sunkoximalin Water Diversion Tunnel, the largest water diversion tunnel project in Nepal undertaken by a Chinese company, was successfully completed one year ahead of schedule on the 8th. On the same day, Nepalese Prime Minister Prachanda pressed the start button for a few minutes at the completion ceremony held in the Sindhuri area where the project is located, and a double shield tunnel boring machine successfully completed the final section of the tunnel. Prachanda praised the project as a "national honor project". He said that agriculture contributes one-third of Nepal's gross domestic product, but the Terai Plain region, which accounts for 60% of Nepal's arable land, suffers from water shortages in winter and spring. The Sunkosimalin Water Diversion Tunnel Project will help Nepal's economic development and reduce the trade deficit caused by the large import of agricultural products. ?? This is a scene taken on May 8th in the Sindhuri region of Nepal where a double shield tunnel boring machine opened the final section of the tunnel. Chinese Ambassador to Nepal, Chen Song, delivered a speech by Xinhua News Agency (photographed by Harry Mahaljan), stating that the cooperation of technical personnel between China and Nepal has overcome difficulties such as geological conditions, logistics problems, and long rainy seasons, and the main tunnel has been completed one year ahead of schedule, demonstrating "high-quality and high standard Chinese speed.". The Sunkosi Marin Water Diversion Tunnel has a total length of 13.3 kilometers. After completion, it will divert the Sunkosi River water to the Marin River, irrigating a total of 122000 hectares of farmland in five counties in the Terai Plain area. (Lai Xin She)
