guys, I worked as an intern at L&T for this runway (I'm a Civil Engineer!). Everything is good, but I can say somethings disappointed me very much... LABOURERS. Indian govt spent so many crores to empower Nepali labours! Why the fuck man?!! They could have bought atleast North INDIAN Labours, majority of the labours over there wer Nepalis!!! They sent much of their earnings back to Nepal. It's like as if we didn't had unemployed youths!! Not just here, even in case Ram Mandir construction in Ayodhya, many of the workers were foreigners (Nepalis)

[@quitmaskreloaded]

​@@shrinivaspandurangi4it's simple everything is business centric Nepali s need less salary they get more for conversion in Nepal here Indians need Indian rupee itself ... getting it done with less cost is called business so Indians will get no jobs they can go outside as expatriates and work for less salary compared to their own citizen like people of India working in Middle East

@@shrinivaspandurangi4 It is similar to, the way the tech worker migrate to US and send money to India. It is universal. The American laborers are costly when compared to Indians. Indian laborers are costly when compared to Nepali's. Once the Nepal GDP grows, they will become costly too. By the time Laborers become costly, we would have automation and machines to build the building when compared to humans. We have to go with the flow.
