As per the policy of the government to replace the old terminal building with a well-equipped terminal building, the 53-year-old terminal building of Janakpurdham has been replaced with a state-of-the-art terminal building at a cost of Rs. 420 million.
It is said that steel was used instead of bricks in the structure of the building and the terminal. The construction work of the terminal building should have been completed in two years but it has been completed in eight years due to technical problems and structural ambiguity.
