The Beni-Jomsom road section that connects Mustang district with the national highway through the northern area has been disrupted. It has been learnt that the downpour-triggered floods swept away the culvert in Annapurna Rural Municipality-2, Bhurung Tatopani of Myagdi along the road section. Direct vehicular movement along the Beni-Jomsom road has been disrupted, Bharat Kumar Pun, Chairman of the Annapurna Rural Municipality, said.

As a result, vehicles to and from Beni and Mustang have been left stranded midway.

The flood that occurred on May 20 had swept away the three-meter-long bridge installed in Bhurung-Tatopani. Following the incident, a temporary structure with Hume pipe was built to cross the rivulet. The flood again washed away the hume pipe and road around the rivulet. The 76-km Beni-Jomsom road is under the up-gradation through the Kaligandaki Corridor Road Project. Project Supervisor Indra Singh Sherchan said that efforts are underway to resume traffic by mobilizing dozers and laborers since early this morning.
