Road Reconstruction in Myagdi Estimated at NPR 7 Crore After Flood Damage
Summary
Floods, landslides and river erosion have damaged the Beni-Darwang-Muna road in Myagdi, with preliminary reconstruction costs estimated at about NPR 7 crore. Transportation on the key route linking western Myagdi municipalities to Beni has been disrupted, and an alternative road is being used for now.
Key Points
- The Beni-Darwang-Muna road in Myagdi has suffered severe damage from heavy rainfall, floods, landslides and erosion, with preliminary reconstruction costs estimated at around NPR 7 crore.
- About 22 locations on the road have been damaged, including washed-away blacktopped sections, sunk road surfaces, and eroded retaining structures.
- Transport between Beni and Muna is now operating through an alternative narrow route, making large vehicle movement difficult.
- The Provincial Government has allocated NPR 25 lakh for Balute section repairs, and officials say full reconstruction will require river-bank protection work before the next monsoon.
