The flood that came after the normal rainfall washed away the diversion of the Feme River, disrupting the movement of vehicles and transport vehicles on the Phidim-Phalout road section.

The flood that came after the rain on Thursday evening washed away the humm pipes placed for the diversion.

The District Police Office of Panchthar has stated that the movement of vehicles and transport vehicles has come to a standstill as the humm pipe was washed away up to 100 meters below.

This road, which connects the Phalot and Charate areas bordering India with the district headquarters Phidim, via Nangin, Yangnam, Sidin and Prangwung, is one of the important roads in the district.

The first flood in the Feme River on Asoj 12, 2081, washed away the concrete bridge. After that, the transport of this river has been dependent on the diversion. Last year, the road was blocked due to repeated flooding of the diversion.

The provincial government is constructing a bailey bridge here. However, the work has not been completed.

The Infrastructure Development Office, Panchthar, has been trying since morning to repair the damaged dykes and open the road.

Engineer Mukesh Raj Sah, who is at the work site, informed that equipment and manpower have been mobilized to complete the work by noon.
