The risk is due to the blockage of one of the culverts at the airport, as a result of which flood water is gushing on the runway and causing erosion. [break]
The culvert was blocked by sediment brought by floodwater. As a result of the blockage of the culvert, the floodwater started flowing through the runway, causing erosion. It is said that a portion of the airport towards the south is on the verge of caving in.
Big craters have formed at three points towards the southern portion of the airport, said a local Nanda Prasad Ghimire.
Meanwhile, the Diktel-Jayaramghat road has been blocked by a huge boulder that fell from the hillside in the middle of the road.
