MELAMCHI: Transport service has come to a halt on the Melamchi-Helambu road section when the rain-triggered flood since last night took away its parts in several places.

Balsit Khadka, a local, said the flood has devastated the road that was reconstructed following the massive flood at Chanaute, Helambu last year.

Shyammani Chalise, a local of Melamchi, said the road traffic was also disrupted at Dhungebazar of Helambu and Simkhel in Melamchi.

Locals of the areas including Gyalthum of Helambu were forced to stay outside their home during last night due to incessant rain.

Downpour was reported in and around Nakote nearby the Melamchi Rivulet in Sindhupalchowk district last night.

Local Administration has urged local dwellers to stay alert in view of possible landslides on the banks of Melamchi and steep land with the rise in water level.
