The Melamchi water supply project in Babarmahal, Kathmandu has been flooded after the pipe burst. After the pipe burst on Wednesday afternoon, the road in front of the District Court Kathmandu and the government offices inside the forest premises were also flooded.
मेलम्ची खानेपानी परियोजना कार्यान्वयन इकाईका प्रमुख टीका चौधरीले नेपाल विद्युत् प्राधिकरणले बिजुलीको तार भूमिगत गर्ने क्रममा मेलम्चीको पाइप फुटेको हो । प्रमुख चौधरीले भने, 'प्राधिकरणले तार भूमिगत गर्ने क्रममा ड्रिलिङ गर्दा हाम्रो पाइप फुटेको हो । हामीले अब त्यस क्षेत्रमा पानी बन्द गर्दैछौँ ।'
पाइप विस्फोट हुँदा बबरमहलमा सडकसमेत भासिएको छ । सडक डिभिजन, काठमाडौंका साइट इन्जिनियर अर्जुन नेपालले पनि प्राधिकरणले ड्रिलिङ गर्दा नै पाइप फुटेपछि जलमग्न भएको बताए । उनले भने, 'प्राधिकरणले तार बिछ्याउने क्रममा पाइप फुटेको हो । सडक पनि भासिएको छ । अब प्राधिकरणले त्यो बनाउँछ । जसले बिगारेको हो त्यसैले बनाउने हो ।'
