Landslides have blocked the Kagbeni-Korla road at 10 different locations. The road structure has been damaged by flooding and mudslides at various locations due to continuous rains since Thursday night.

Chief District Officer Bishnu Prasad Bhusal informed that the road structure has been damaged by floods and mud in every hole on the road from Kagbeni to Chhusang section of the Korala road. He said that although efforts have been made to open the road using equipment, the road will not be operational immediately.

The rain has also affected the road structure and communication services in those places. Landslides and mud fell from the road at dozens of places along the distance from Kagbeni to Chaile in Waragung Muktikshetra-3, blocking the road since Friday morning. 

The flood from Kagbeni to Tangwe under the national pride Kagbeni-Korala road section has completely destroyed the road structure due to floods and mud. According to him, the road is blocked at more than four places on the Kagbeni-Tangwe road section. 

Similarly, incessant rains have damaged road structures at various places on the Tangbe to Chhusang section of the Korala road. Floods including mudflows in the Tangbe river from the Tangbe to Chhusang section have completely washed away the road structure.

Similarly, more than 35 meters of road on the Chailai road above Mustang Gate in Waragung Muktikshetra has been destroyed due to landslides due to rain, informed Deputy Superintendent of Police Tshiring Kippa Lama of the District Police Office. He said that a wall was constructed and filled on the road, but the road was damaged due to the landslide.

Meanwhile, a team of security personnel including Chief District Officer Bhusal on Saturday conducted an on-site inspection of the Kagbeni-Chhusang road section blocked by rain. Three pieces of equipment have been deployed to make necessary repairs to the road here and open the road. Similarly, the Kaligandaki Corridor Beni-Jomsom-Korala Road Project has said that it will mobilize all available resources to bring the road into operation. According to the project, two local equipment and a loader in the Myagdi section have reached the respective places.

Ward Chairman Karma Ghyacho Gurung of Baragung-4 informed that the road is not immediately operational due to the destruction of road structures in places on the Kagbeni-Chhusang road section. He said that although the repair of the Korala road has started since Saturday, it will take a few days to open the road as many roads have been damaged by floods and landslides. The District Administration Office, Mustang, has requested people not to travel there immediately as the Kagbeni-Korala road is blocked.
