Jajarkot, Aug 24: Flights have been affected in Karnali for the last two days due to bad weather. The flights have been disrupted as it has been raining continuously.

Flights could not take place to and from the Juphal Airport in Dolpa, Simikot Airport in Humla and Talcha Airport in Mugu due to the incessant rainfall.

Rajendra Thakulla, an engineer with the Thuli Bheri Municipality, Dolpa, said he is stranded in Nepalgunj due to the disruption of flights. "It has been two days waiting for the flight services to resume. I have not been able to fly to Dolpa due to bad weather. There is also the problem of traveling by road," he lamented.

Most of the people in these remote mountainous districts of Karnali Province rely on flights as most of the roads are damaged due to flood and landslide during the monsoon. They are affected as the flights are not made due to unfavorable weather.

Although Dolpa is linked by roadway, there is still the problem of traveling by road in the rainy season. Road travel has become risky as the water level in the rivers and streams has increased. Humla is not yet linked by road.
