RASUWA, Sept 14: Temporary bridges have been installed over the Phalakhu and Bhotekoshi rivers along the Rasuwa-Nuwakot road section after floods destroyed the concrete bridges, disrupting road connectivity.
Superintendent of Police Tul Bahadur Bhandari of the Armed Police Force said the temporary structures were installed to ease movement for local residents.
Some Tanahun villages still rely on tuin
A bamboo-and-wood bridge has been built at Betrawati for pedestrians, while an iron-wire cable bridge, locally known as a ‘tuin,’ has been installed at Syabrubesi. Although the tuin is ready, work is underway to complete the footpaths on both sides and is expected to be finished within a few days.
Province Assembly member Indra Prasad Gotame said travel from Nuwakot through Gerkhu, Chapatar and Keraghari to Betrawati has become easier following the completion of the temporary bridge there.
Social worker Ganesh Shrestha said the log bridge was built with support from the Nepali Army, Nepal Police, Armed Police Force and local residents.
The temporary crossings have also made travel easier for residents of Gatlang, Goljung, Chilime, Thuman, Syo, Gray and other northern parts of Rasuwa via Syabrubesi.
