Delivering his speech during opening ceremony, Mr. Tufan Singh KC, executive Chief of Ghorahi Municipality stated, 'It's difficult to implement Building code unless the trained mason doesn’t work in field. I request all of the participants to apply their skill on the field rather just to be participated.'
