Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport, Devendra Dahal, has informed that installation of a Bailey bridge over the Lhende stream has begun in a bid to reopen the Rasuwagadhi border point before Dashain festival.

Minister Dahal said it while talking to media persons after inspecting the road construction along the Galchhi-Trishuli to Mailung-Shyafrubeshi-Rasuwagadhi on Tuesday. 

The Nepal-China border bridge, Miteripul, was washed away by a flash flood that occurred in the Lhende stream on July 8.

"The concerned bodies are mobilized fully to ensure reopening the border point in view of the festivals. Agreement was made that China would extend support to operate the Shyafrubeshi-Rusuwagadhi road section in the Rasuwa side," the Minister added.
