Doba Residents Face Risky Journeys After Kali Gandaki River Damages Bridge Access

Myagdi. Doba residents have been forced to undertake risky journeys. The Kali Gandaki River has damaged the Bhirkate bridge, which connects Doba residents, located at the border of Annapurna Rural Municipality-6 and 1 in Myagdi, forcing locals to travel with difficulty.

The bridge constructed to connect Doba village to transportation along the Beni-Jomsom-Korala road at Bhirkate is at risk. Annapurna Rural Municipality Vice-chairperson Diwakumari Tilija Pun said that the risk of vehicle movement has increased after the river erosion damaged the access road on the Bhirkate side of the bridge.
