Temporary footbridge, ‘tuin’ installed to restore access in Rasuwa
Summary
Temporary bridges have been installed over the Phalakhu and Bhotekoshi rivers on the Rasuwa-Nuwakot road after floods destroyed concrete crossings and cut road connectivity. A bamboo bridge at Betrawati and an iron-wire cable ‘tuin’ at Syabrubesi are restoring access for local residents in northern Rasuwa.
