Relief efforts take a hit in disaster-hit Dhorpatan

Last week’s floods and landslide have damaged sections of Burtibang-Dhorpatan road, cutting off affected villages in Dhorpatan Municipality from the district headquarters.

The flood and landslide that occurred at Bhujikhola in Dhorpatan Municipality Ward No. 9, Baglung, a week ago have damaged around 20 kilometres of the 36km Burtibang-Dhorpatan road section, cutting off disaster-hit areas from the district headquarters of Baglung Bazaar. Relief distribution has also taken a hit because of disruption in the road connectivity, say authorities.
