Amlekhganj (also Amlekhgunj) (Nepali:अमलेखगंज) is a town and Village Development Committee (now Sub Metropolitan City) in Bara District in the Narayani Zone of south-eastern Nepal. At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 6,709 people living in 1370 individual households. There were 3,413 males and 3,296 females at the time of census.[1] At one time it was famed as the starting point of the Nepal Government Railway (NGR) which connected it with Raxaul in India.
Transport
[edit]
The town was served by a branch railway from Raxaul, It has no formal transportation service; most people have their own vehicle.[2]
The pipeline can bring 6,000 kiloliters of petroleum products to Amlekhgunj daily, but it has not yet operated at full capacity due to the lack of increased demand for petroleum products. "The corporation has not yet reached a point where it needs to import 6,000 kiloliters of petroleum products daily," said Acharya. "However, once the pipeline starts importing diesel, petrol, and kerosene, it will operate at full capacity." South Asia's first cross-border pipeline project, spanning a total length of 69.2 kilometers, includes 33 kilometers in India and 36.2 kilometers in Nepal. Then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi had jointly inaugurated the project on September 10, 2019. The NOC has been supplying fuel from its Madhesh Regional Depot in Amlekhgunj to depots in Biratnagar, Bhairahawa, Thankot, Pokhara, Birgunj, and Janakpur. Petroleum products have also been sold and distributed to local-level pumps from Amlekhgunj.[3]
