Vehicles and pedestrians from the river during the dry season  Although it is not difficult to travel, it is difficult to cross the river during the rainy season. 

Small jeeps and motorbikes have been stopped across the river since Tuesday as they could not cross the Phugad river. Mini Tata GCB and tractor have been pulled to cross the river  Sumitra Bam of Pachaljharna-4 Ramnakot said that pedestrians are suffering a lot.  'It is impossible to cross when the river is high,' she complained.

Palata Ghar Congress leader Dilu Bam told that when a bridge was not built in the Fugad river in Karnali Corridor, 3 motorcycles were swept away last year. In 3 years, 4 local people have gone missing due to this river. Both vehicles and pedestrians have problems.  

Meena Rawat Wik, the deputy head of the District Coordination Committee of Pachaljharna, expressed her complaint that she did not go home and returned to the headquarters after not being able to cross the Phugad river. "During the rainy season, the corridor is closed," she said.
