Due to the non-stopping of floods and landslides at the Rasuwagadhi crossing, the construction of the Belybridge at Bhotekoshi has not been able to proceed, while landslides are coming from the upper part of the road towards Nepal. Timure-Rasuwagadhi section road has been blocked due to landslides on Saturday morning.
Due to the landslide near the border, there has been more problem in traffic. In the morning, suddenly stones started falling from the upper part of the fort. The locals were scattered.
China has prepared a foundation for a belay bridge on its territory of Miteri Bridge. But since Bhotekoshi could not come across, the foundation of the Bely Bridge on the Nepal side has not been prepared. A few days ago, two hump pipes of a temporary structure built in Bhotekoshi before coming to Nepal were swept away by the flood. The Chinese could not come here the next day after the structure built the previous day was washed away by the night rain. Border Nepali officials have said that there is little possibility of maintaining the Beilibridge until the rains stop. After the flood of June washed away the Miteri bridge, the traffic between Nepal and China by land has come to a standstill.
Armed Police Force Area Office Timure Police Inspector Krishna Dhital said that landslides and floods occur in Bhotekoshi after rains. After the flood of June 24, there are continuous floods. The rains have not stopped the landslides, but flooding is coming in Bhotekoshi. After the Miteri bridge was swept away by the flood, the government requested China to build a belay bridge and create an environment for traffic operations. China is trying to come to Nepal by preparing the foundation of the Beilibridge on its territory of Miteri bridge. But the border security personnel have informed that due to continuous flooding, obstacles have been created to bring machinery and people to build the foundation.
Rasuwa Customs Officer Khadge Majhi said that it is not possible to cross the border area from Timure. He informed that a landslide occurred 2 km from Timure towards the customs. Due to the flood of June, business through the Rasuwa customs checkpoint has come to a standstill. After the closure of the Rasuwa border, trade from China has shifted to Tatopani. But the Kodari section of the Tatopani crossing has been flooded due to the rains, so traffic has not been able to operate regularly. It has been difficult to operate the transport since last May and it has not been easy yet.
President of Sindhupalchok Industry and Commerce Association Buddharaj Basnet said that the road built the previous day will be flooded the next day. He mentioned that the road block could not be removed after the line of commercial containers coming to Nepal reached the border. He informed that efforts are being made to open traffic since Sunday morning. Road construction has also become technically difficult as Bhotekoshi cuts from the bottom and flows from the top.
