As the motor road is expanding to south and north, there is noticeable change in Balankha bazar.
When the most difficult road construction at the Tare Bhir between Pangcha and Balankha was completed, it in fact, not only connected Balankha to whole Terai region but it also opened up a new possibilities of trade and transportation activities of this region which will eventually support the local economy.
Thanks to the local committee of road construction who in support of Minister Sherdhan Rai received one million Rupees from the Road Department and carried out the construction.
The only obstacle now is to build a motor bridge on Koshi river linking Ranitar of Udaypur.
Balankha is now well connected to all the major hubs of Bhojpur and Khotang districts such as Ghoretar, Mane Bhanjyang, Chisapani, Katunje etc.
Recently local transportation entrepreneurs have started services from Balankha to Beltar and Dharan via Ranitar.

Balankha bazar has become more vibrant now than it was few years ago when there was no road.
It is seeing more offices and more shops, hotel, restaurants, various services such as remittance service, mobile service, computer service and internet services etc.
Telecommunication towers are also being built in the private and public both sector.
Police post and Health post have already been serving the locals for long time.
Beside that local farmers have started to grow various types of cash crops.

A significant number of people from Balankha and surrounding are working abroad.
They all support their family and village through remittance they send.
Keeping this in mind Western Union services is now operating locally and it is a big relief as local people do not need to travel to Ghoretar or Bhojpur to receive their money sent by their loved ones.

The Balankha Support Group (BSG) is one small group that has been trying to help Balankha too.
Currently it is trying to provide books and set up a library for Chandeswor High School.
