There is active cooperation of the locals for the construction of the track road. The people from Sertung, Lapa , Jharlang and Tipling VDC will be directly benefiting from the construction of road track. The construction work approximately will take one year.
Mr. Ram Bahadur Tamang, a resident of Tipling VDC said that the construction would help the people to sell their products and purchase daily essentials easily.

As we ride through the majestic Nuwakot palace, we reach Bhairavi school, where a 5 room hostel for the special children is coming up. Located in a picturesque surroundings, the dedicated craftsmen with brick by brick build this beautiful building. They area aiming to present the completed building as the special children arrive after their Dashain holidays.
Further climbing the uphill for around 12 more kilometers is the Bageswari school. This historical village Chokade is overlooked by huge mountains. Here to another hostel work is in progress. This hostel will is built for some 20 special children studying in this school. The earthquake has destroyed their old hostel completely and they were all living in a small room where they cook, eat food, sleep and study. The new building will be of great help for the children. We are hoping to finish the building as early as possible.
As we cross across the mighty and fiery Trishuli river running under through a hanging bridge comes the Chandeswari school. The third hostel for the special blind children is coming in this school premise. The work is progressing steadily.
A four roomed hostel for the mentally challenged children of Shree Janajagriti Higher Secondary School, Sangachok in Sindhupalchok district is the fourth hostel under construction. The construction of the hostel for special children has started after following the long government procedure and with good spirit of team work. The school had a hostel for mentally challenged children but the hostel was destroyed in the 25th Arpil 2015 Nepal Earthquake. Because of this these special children were out of school till this time. Many have not returned to school due to the lack of proper environment for them. Construction of their hostel would give them the needed facilities to come to the school.
