The Clock Tower is an additional attraction for tourists as
well as a distinct identity of Dharan. It's constructed under
the twenty-year plan of the city at the estimated cost of Rs.
5,639,000. It is at Dharan-6, Bhanuchowk, and the construction
is almost complete.
The financial support is collected through The Dharan Hong Kong
Manch, a forum of Nepalese Immigrants (most of the contributors
from Dharan) to Hong Kong and Macao. The Amrit Nirman Sewa (Pvt.)
Ltd., a local construction company, is building the Tower. The
Tower is designed as the Clock Tower in Hon Kong. It will be
76.5 ft. high and at the height of 55 ft. a platform around
the Tower will be made so that almost 50 people can view the
city. At the north of the Tower a park will be made in memory
of the earthquake victims who died in the 1988 earthquake that
hit the city, reduced it to rubbles and claimed almost 5000
city dwellers.
