NSC has signed a contract with R&C Builders, Jorpati for the construction works. NSC has asked R&C to complete the construction works within 40 days.
NSC has started the construction process as a task force formed after Nepal’s qualification to the ICC World T20 suggested it to provide indoor facilities to the national team as early as possible.
