Road link to Jomsom

Ben: Jomsom will be linked to the national highway by November 16 this year. Only three km of the 78-km Beni-Jomsom road remains to be completed and the same is expected to be ready by mid-November, according to the Nepal Army camp at Ghansa which has got the contract for construction of the Beni-Jomsom road. Locals of Mustang are hopeful that apples, mountain goats, woolen rugs and medicinal herbs from their district would find access to market once the road is open.
