Flood destroys Manang: Excavator goes to open road

MANANG: AUGUST 1 – Manang has been at a standstill since the last week of May. Vehicles cannot come after the bridge and road have been washed away by the floods. People are walking up and down. Government bodies have been working for a month and a half to reopen Manang.

The Dumre-Beshisahar-Chame road project has opened roads in landslide-prone areas and constructed new roads in areas where new tracks have to be opened. The excavators and loaders sent in the first week of June have now reached the Manang border. Project Chief Amit Shrestha informed that 35 km out of 65 km road has been completed.
