Under the Panchthar section of the Tamor Corridor, the diversion made in the Howa River, which separates the border between Fidim and Hilihang of Panchthar, has been swept away by the flood.
The Panchthar-Taplejung road section of the Tamor Corridor has been blocked due to the flood that occurred on Friday morning. Passengers and large cargo vehicles used to pass through this road. On Friday morning, the hump pipe was washed away when the river rose due to rain.
With the flow of Hume Pipe, the vehicles that traveled through Tamor Corridor, Bhalu Chowk, Sinhapur and Tharpu in Panchthar, along with Taplejung, reached Jorsal via Madhyapahari Highway and started heading towards their destination by taking Mechi Highway.
On Friday morning, the passenger and cargo vehicles that arrived at Hewa river from Bhaluchok via Subang river have returned to Amarpur and are heading towards Dharan, Ilam and Jhapa via Mechi highway.
The Beilibridge built here was swept away by the flood on 2nd June 2080 for the first time. After the diversion was washed away again by the flood of October 12, 2081, the hump pipe was placed again and the water was cut off and the traffic was started.
The Tamor Corridor project is responsible for building a bridge over the river on this road. The chief district officer of Panchthar, Vishnu Koirala, said that efforts are being made to carry out transport by pulling out the hump pipe washed away by Friday's flood and renovating it with an excavator.
Talks have been held with the Tamor Corridor Project to repair the diversion and keep the road open until the monsoon is active. They are positive for repairs,' said Prazia Koirala.
Belibridge was swept away by the flood last October, but traffic is operating on the Hewa river section of the Mechi highway. Similarly, the diversion work has just started in Feme river in Fidim Falaut section. Traffic has also been started in Feme river by using hump pipe.
