The flood in Kailash river on August 2, 2077 made the old Saini market of Achham deserted. 17 people died. The suspension bridge of the river was washed away. The flood obliterated the road connecting the tourist area of ​​Ramaroshan. All surrounding arable land was washed away.

 

 

The road and bridge on the river bank have not yet been built, due to which it is difficult to move around the villages.

Locals have built a temporary wooden bridge in the river . Locals of Bannigadhi Jaigarh rural municipality-6 Patekhet walk through the same pool. But locals say that it is dangerous for children to old people to cross the river from Kathepul. Students have to take daily risks to go to the school across the river.

11-year-old Sita Thapa said that she has to go to Aishwarya Mavi Darna, which is about 2 hours away from home, and misses school because she cannot cross the river on rainy days. "During the rainy season, we live near the school because we can't go here," she said. 10-year-old Lakshmi Thapa of Patekhet is also tormented by the fear of missing school on rainy days. You can't cross the river on rainy days. Studying is left. It is difficult to walk at other times,' he said.

Jhapta Thapa, a local, said that the number of people migrating from Patekhet is increasing due to the inconvenience of the road, the distant school. There is a suspension bridge a little lower to go to the village. But crossing that bridge to the village is very dangerous. During the rainy season, it is difficult to walk because stones fall from above," he said. He says that after the landslide in Ramaroshan, he felt the urge to migrate.

'Earlier there were 22 houses in Patekhet. Now most of the houses are locked, if any house is destroyed. "Now there are only 6/7 houses in the village," he said. Jagat Thapa, Ward President of Bannigarhi Jaigarh-6, said that although the technical team from the Infrastructure Development Office has studied to build a suspension bridge, the work has not progressed.

"Patekhet has suffered a lot of losses due to floods," he said, "Pools are essential for the village, they even allocate 10 lakhs every year to build a bridge". But they stop that the DPR has not been made. 1 million won't build a bridge . No one gives enough budget.'
