Benchmarking technique adopted to mitigate landslides on Beni-Jomsom-Korala road

Myagdi. The 'benchmarking' method has been adopted to prevent landslides at Sirubari in Raghuganga Rural Municipality-2, Myagdi, along the Beni-Jomsom-Korala road section of the Kaligandaki Corridor.

To provide a temporary solution to the problem of road blockages caused by landslides during the monsoon season, the Beni-Jomsom-Korala road project, which connects India and China, has implemented the 'benchmarking' method as a short-term, low-cost landslide mitigation measure. This is the first time the 'benchmarking' method has been used to prevent landslides on roads in Myagdi.
