Several sections of the road from Kavre Bhir on the Myagdi-Mustang border to the Korala border have been disrupted by landslides and falling rocks, while heavy snowfall in the Korala Pass area in Upper Mustang has brought vehicular movement to a grinding halt, according to the District Police Office (DPO), Mustang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santosh Basyal, Police Inspector at DPO, Mustang, said that landslides and large rocks have blocked the road at Kavre Bhir and several locations in Ghansa of Thasang rural municipality-4. Landslides have also obstructed the road near Lower Ghansa and the Ghansa check post, Basyal added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, a flash flood near the apple orchard of the Temperate Horticulture Development Centre at Marpha in Gharpajhong rural municipality-4 has also disrupted the road, informed Mohan Singh Laalchan, Chairperson of the rural municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chairperson Laalchan shared that efforts were underway to clear the road using an excavator and a dozer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Inspector Basyal mentioned that the Jomsom-Panda Khola section leading to Korala border point has been blocked by a rain-triggered landslide, while the road from Kagbeni to Chaile in Baragung Muktichhetra rural municipality-3 has also been obstructed at several points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, a debris-laden flood at Ghyakar Khola near Mustang Gate has completely damaged the road track. Around half a dozen landslides between Kagbeni and Chaile have damaged road infrastructure, he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavy snowfall has further disrupted movement in the Korala and Lo Manthang areas, said Prakash Dhital, Police Inspector of the Armed Police Force (APF) and In-Charge of Border Outpost of the APF. More than 200 containers have been stranded at the Mustang Customs yard, affecting Nepal-China trade. More than a foot of snow has accumulated in the Korala area, Dhital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, electricity supply across Mustang district has been disrupted after floodwaters entered a 240-kilowatt hydropower plant at Chokhopani. The 33-kV transmission line from Dana in Myagdi to Kowang was also disconnected due to the heavy rain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, heavy rainfall has disrupted Myagdi section of Beni-Jomson road in several points, according to Indra Singh Sherchan, Supervisor at the Beni-Jomsom-Korala Road Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
