Flood destroys bridge connecting Syangja and Gulmi after days of heavy rain
A bridge over the Kaligandaki River linking Mirmi in Syangja and Harmichaur in Gulmi was washed away following four days of continuous rain, halting travel between the districts.
Intense rainfall for four consecutive days caused the Kaligandaki River to swell, sweeping away the motorable bridge that linked Syangja's Kaligandaki Rural Municipality-7 with Gulmi's Kaligandaki Rural Municipality-1. The loss of the structure has interrupted transport services and isolated communities on both sides of the river. Local authorities are assessing the damage and exploring temporary crossing solutions.
Why it matters
The bridge loss cuts off a key transport route, affecting daily commutes and supply chains for communities in Syangja and Gulmi.
