Flashflood triggered by a landslide at Lungdi stream in Parbat district
wiped out two motorable bridges, disrupted water supply in nearly 200
households, swept away a power station and submerged a large area of
farmland on Saturday night.
Police said the flashflood swept away a bridge along the Maldhunga-Beni road, disrupting vehicular movement between Parbat and Myagdi districts. The swollen stream also washed away a temporary motorable bridge linking Shalija and Dhairing VDCs. A power station in Thotneri village in Shalija VDC was also destroyed in the flood. The flood also swept away a pipeline that supplied drinking water to nearly 200 households in Jukepani village; damaged an irrigation canal in Dhairing VDC and destroyed a huge tract of farmland.
As many as 40 houses in Dhairing VDC are at high risk of flood, former VDC chairman Rudralal Acharya said.
Milanchowk village is also in danger. Saturday night’s flooding damaged 20 houses and displaced their occupants there.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Kedar Khanal said the Lungdi stream needs to be controlled immediately to prevent flooding in Milanchowk. He said property worth around Rs 20 million were damaged in the flood.
