Out of Indian government's commitment to build 50,000 houses in Gorkha and Nuwakot districts, 45,000 have already been completed.

Earlier in September last year, Modi and Oli had inaugurated the first cross border commercial oil pipeline between India and Nepal.

The pipeline from Motihari in Bihar to Amlekhganj in Nepal was proposed more than 20 years ago for the transfer of petroleum products such as diesel, LPG and aviation turbine fuel.
