Bridge Approach Road Washed Away by Flood in Nawalparasi, Severing Connection
Summary
A flood washed away the approach road to a motorable bridge in Nawalparasi, cutting off the route between Deudagaun in Baudikali and Ghiring Rural Municipality in Tanahun. The damage has blocked vehicle and pedestrian movement on a key shortcut to Pokhara and other areas in Gandaki Province.
Key Points
- The approach road on the Nawalpur side of the bridge linking Nawalparasi (Bardghat-Susta East) and Tanahun has been completely washed away by floodwaters.
- The erosion caused by the Kaligandaki River after continuous rainfall has blocked movement of vehicles and pedestrians.
- The severed connection affects daily travel from Deudagaun to Bhimad, Pokhara, Syangja, Nawalpur and Palpa.
- The route is the shortest link from Nawalpur to the provincial capital, Pokhara.
