 Is this the man-made disaster?

The Melamchi river, that had swept away houses and land, and converted Helambu, Kiul and Melamchi market into a desert on July 15, has again gone wild sweeping away scores of houses and bridges in Sindhupalchok on Sunday August 1, 2021 morning.

The red bridge over the river in Chanaute has also been swept away at around 7:45 this morning.The bridge was the only way connecting Melamchi-7 and 8, Panchpokhari 1 and 2 and many wards of Helambu.

 

With the collapse of the bridge, traffic in the area has been badly damaged and shut making the lives of the local people difficult. The floods have also washed away a suspension bridge in Gyalthum.

It is yet to be seen whether the government will act soon to relocate the effected people who have entirely lost their houses and other properties.
