Continuous flood damages bridge; road and hydropower projects

Kathmandu - The flood-swollen Feme rivulet which flows through Fidim municipality has caused damages in multiple areas. The monsoon-rain triggered flood that continued since Sunday evening through Monday afternoon has risked the Feme rivulet bridge along the Fidim-Falot road. With perpetual erosion of land in the western part, the 25-metre-long bridge has come to a vulnerable condition.

Flood has swept away over half portion of land across the main pillar increasing risk to the bridge infrastructure. Likewise, landslides caused by the flood-fed rivulet in the surrounds of the bridge and at Fidim municiplaity-1, Malbanse have obstructed the Fidim-Falot road section. The municipality is trying to clear off the landslide debris from the road.
