Although it was said that one person died after the bridge fell, doctors and the police did not confirm the incident. On Saturday at 6 o'clock in the evening, the under construction Beilibridge fell. The belay bridge collapsed shortly after the foundation was laid in Hilihang Rural Municipality-7 on the opposite side from the base placed towards Fidim municipality-4. Six people were injured when the Belybridge fell.

2 of the injured are in serious condition and 2 are normal. All of them have been taken to Nobel Medical College Biratnagar for treatment. 25-year-old Bhuleshwar Chaudhary, 35-year-old Prakash Chaudhary and 30-year-old Abhishek Chaudhary of Simra sub-metropolitan city-12 of Bara were injured in the incident.

After the concrete bridge of the Hewa river in the Panchthar section under the Mechi highway was swept away by the flood on 2nd June 2080, the belay bridge was built here for the first time. After the belibridge was swept away again by the flood that occurred on October 12, 2081, the federal government is working with a construction business company called Dobhan Super Saugat Light Builders JV to build the belibridge for the second time through Road Division Ilam.
