After the flood washed away the road of Kalinchok Rural Municipality-1, communication has been cut for two weeks.
The entire ward has been cut off from the road network after the hump pipe placed in the Yaval River was washed away by the flood two weeks ago to facilitate the movement of the local people along with the transportation operation during the dry season.
The traffic has come to a complete standstill after the flood washed away the hump pipe of the Yaval River. Children are forced to go to school by wading into the river during the rainy season. After the road was washed away, the food delivery to the village has stopped . Padam Thami, ward president of Kalinchok-1, said that they had to carry the patient on their shoulders and drag them to the river to take them to the hospital. He said that the parents used to wade into the Yaval River to pick up the children who had reached school on rainy days.
He said that even on the road passing through Bigu, which is an alternative route, there is no bridge and it is not possible to cross the river during the dry season. "This is the main road that connects the ward with the road network," he said, "the hump pipe that was placed in Barkha for crossing has also been washed away, it is very difficult to cross the river, we have not been able to cross."
There is not even a suspension bridge to cross the Yaval River, one has to risk his life to cross the steep river, he said, "When the lake rains, the river floods, we are forced to walk after thinking about everything." "There is no way to reach the school, the parents take the children by wading into the river," he said. In Kalinchok, which is densely populated by the minority Thami community, the grain crops are barely enough to eat for three months. Potato farming is the main source of income for the locals. Barkhe potatoes, the main source of income for the local residents of the ward, have not been able to be exported due to the lack of roads. He said that due to this, the local people have started to lose money.
