How the deadliest attack on Russian soil in years unfolded over the weekend

Constructed in 2052 BS, the bridge was essential for residents of Swamikartik Khapar Rural Municipality-1 and 2, as well as Jagnnath Rural Municipality-3, 4, and 5. Its collapse disrupted daily life, particularly impacting access to Berma Bazaar in Jagnnath Rural Municipality from Sappata Bazaar.

Muktikot Village in Sappata, the poorest in the district with 400 households, has been hit hard by the collapse. The lack of direct road access to the market has exacerbated food shortages, creating a crisis in the village.

It used to take an hour to reach Berma Bazaar, but now it takes more than three hours due to the longer route, hindering access to essential services like medical treatment, according to the rural municipality chair Bharat Bahadur Rokaya

The Ministry of Finance has allocated a budget of 3 crores for the construction of a new 300-meter-long suspension bridge linking Berma to Baluwa, Rokaya informed while adding that communication with the ministry has been ongoing, with the tender process expected to commence soon.

Bridge construction along Narayangadh-Muglin road section in full swingBridge construction along Narayangadh-Muglin road section in full swing

CHITWAN, MAY 9

Construction of bridges along the Narayangadh-Muglin road section has gained pace in a way to bring them into operation by coming mid-November.

Narayangadh-Muglin road no longer closing daily from today

Narayangadh-Butwal road section sees only 46 percent progress in 5 years

Out of a total of 15 bridges in this section, 11 are in operation and four are under construction.

Engineer of the Western Section of Nagdhunga-Muglin Road Project (Narayangadh-Muglin), Krishna Acharya shared that other bridges have already come into operation except Khahare, Namche, Kalikhola and Tuin

Khola bridges near Muglin Bazaar.

Works are underway to bring the two bridges into operation by mid-July, he informed. It will take much time since a high wall has to be raised to construct an access road for the bridge constructed over the Khahare rivulet.

Engineer Acharya said works on the Tuin Khola bridge will be completed by mid-November. There are altogether 19 bridges on the road section. The bridges have been constructed with the loan assistance of the World Bank.

The bridge construction has been delayed due to the need to cut the wall nearby Tuin rivulet and distribute compensation to the affected in Khahare.

Landslides used to cause recurring trouble along the section in the rainy season, but now improvement on the status of the roads and bridges have made it a bit easier.
