Bharatpur (Chitwan), Sept 1: The Madi-Thori road in Chitwan has been obstructed due to the flooding caused by the swollen Ghangharkhola rivulet following incessant rain since last night.
Vehicular movement on the road has
come to a grinding halt due to this, said Police Inspector Kedar Man Dong of
the Area Police Office Madi. A bridge is under construction over the rivulet
and whenever there are flash floods the traffic is disrupted on this road.
Inspector Dong said vehicles can operate only when the rain stops. Vehicles going to various destinations are stranded, it is said.
"Bridges have been constructed
over many rivulets on the Madi-Thori road while they are under construction
over the Ghanghar, Bagai and Magui Khola rivulets," said Tara Kumari Kaji
Mahato, Mayor of Madi Municipality.
She said they have requested the
Hulaki Road Project Office to promptly complete the bridge construction.
Construction of a bridge over the Patarekhola has not yet started, Mayor Mahato
said. (RSS)
