Túins in Nuwakot Closed Due to Heavy Rainfall, Disrupting Daily Life
Summary
Continuous rainfall has closed túins across the Trishuli River in Nuwakot, forcing residents to use longer alternative routes through suspension and concrete bridges. The shutdown has disrupted daily life, emergency access, and relief efforts in Bidur Municipality and nearby areas.
Key Points
- Heavy rainfall and rising water levels in the Trishuli River have shut down túins at four locations in Bidur Municipality, Nuwakot.
- Residents must now use the suspension bridge in Belkotgadhi or the concrete bridge in Galchhi, Dhading, to cross the river.
- The closure has disrupted debris removal, rescue and relief distribution, and access to Trishuli Hospital for patients.
- Officials said the túins will reopen once weather conditions improve and river flow subsides.
