October 11, Kathmandu: Finance Minister Janardan Sharma has stressed the need for carrying out public construction works in double shifts to implement the development projects on time.

Speaking in a discussion with concerned bodies about budget implementation issues on Sunday, Finance Minister Sharma said capital expenditure could not be increased through single-shift works.
