The Beni-Jomsom road section has come to disruption since Wednesday evening with flooding in the Begkhola.

The downpour-triggered floods in the Thadokhola of Begkhola eroded road section, resulting in the disruption of Beni-Jomsom transport. The heavy rainfall on Wednesday afternoon had abruptly increased water level in the Kaligandaki river and rivulets that obstructed the road.

Prem Purja, a local of Tiblyang, shared that the traffic movement remained obstructed till late evening when water level did not drop.

It may be noted that the flood-fed Thadokhola of Begkhola had swept away 12 households and a Bailey bridge last year.

The flood takes place in Begkhola with incessant rainfall in upper area.

There is huge inflow of domestic and foreign tourists to Mustang via Beni-Jomsom with the direct transportation service to and from Jomsom and Muktinath via jeep and motorcycle.

The water level in Kaligandaki River has upped due to rocks and boulders brought out by floods last year and the traffic remains obstructed in the road following torrential rains, informed Secretary at Myagdi Jeep and Bus Operators Committee, Suma Shrestha.

"The authorities concerned have not made serious and systematic efforts to resolve the problem. It should be put on top priority to enable environment for influx of tourists", he said. RSS
