Due to the lack of reconstruction of the broken concrete wall in the Marot river on the Lanti-Lekhpokhara-Damachaur-Rolpa road section of the Chhatreshwari Rural Municipality of the district, the commuters have been forced to travel by foot. The wall built last year collapsed within a month.

During the rainy season, passengers are forced to walk to and fro when there are no vehicles here. Locals say that taking the patient to the hospital for treatment makes it even more difficult.

Local infrastructure development project Surkhet with a budget of around 1 crore, Janchahna Oli JV Company Jajarkot got the responsibility of installing machinery and gabion walls for landslide control in the vicinity of this section last year. wall  broke on June 19. Faud Bahadur Basnet, Ward President of Chhatreshwari Rural Municipality-5 said that although he wrote to the local infrastructure development project Surkhet, the contractor has not done the work yet. He says that because the construction company did not work fast, the wall was destroyed by rainwater.

'As half of the road runs along the wall, it is now difficult to operate the vehicle as the road is narrow. Although three/four buses run daily, passengers are forced to travel dangerously. 

Chairman Basnet said that there is a problem because the people of Ward No. 1, 2, 5 and Rolpa of the rural municipality were affected. There is no escape,' he said.

Local Dal Bahadur Gharti said that even though the contractor had put up a concrete wall, it was only covered with mud, and the road was also washed away. He says that during rains, the soil is washed away by water, causing more damage.
