RAMECHHAP, Oct 5: Transportation from Manthali of Ramechhap to Kathmandu has been disrupted again.


The transportation was disconnected after last week's flood and landslides damaged major infrastructures such as a motorable bridge that was partially restored a few days back.


Currently, the road subsided on the bank of the Tamakoshi River at Jyamire in Melung Rural Municipality, thereby paralyzing vehicular movement.

The motorable bridge connecting Manthali to Khurkot of Sindhuli was a tremendous loss that disconnected Manthali to the federal capital, Kathmandu via Sindhuli.


Similarly, the raging Roshi Khola damaged the Nepalthok section of the BP Highway, prompting the agencies concerned to manage alternative routes to link Manthali to Kathmandu.


However, the alternative route from Manthali to Kathmandu via Charikot of Dolakha too was obstructed in the wake of the recent road depression.


The obstruction in transportation has badly affected the travel of the people especially from Ramechhap, Solukhumbu and Okhaldhunga districts.


Jeeps and passenger buses are stranded after the road disconnection.


However, efforts are on to reconstruct the depressed road section and resume transportation, according to the District Police Office, Dolakha.


The roadway has witnessed a huge pressure of vehicular movement in the wake of the festival season.
