BHAKTAPUR, March 11: Construction work of Manohara Bridge that links Madhyapur Thimi of Bhaktapur and Kadaghari of Kathmandu has come to a halt after a dispute between locals of both the districts regarding the river´s course.



According to Madhusudhan Chapagain, Coordinator of Bridge Construction Committee, construction work of the bridge has come to a halt after locals of Bhaktapur didn´t cooperate. A decision was made to shift the bridge after land of some people of Kathmandu district fell in the bridge area.[break]
