SINDHUPALCHOK: Floods in the Yangri and Indrawati rivers last night have damaged the Indrawati III hydropower project.
The dam at Tipeni in Panchpokhari, part of the 7.5 MW project, has been filled with sand, and the substation and powerhouse have also suffered damage, according to Tashi Lama, Chair of Panchpokhari Thangpal Rural Municipality.
As a result, the power supply in most parts of constituency number 2 of the district has been interrupted.
Additionally, the road from Khaldekhola to Tipeni has been blocked.
Local resident Galbo Samden reported that the flood swept away the bridge connecting Chinde Jatan and the Yangri bridge.
The Yangri and Indrawati rivers have also washed away agricultural land in the coastal areas.
The bailey bridge built last year in Melamchi, which connects Melamchi, Indrawati, and Panchpokhari, is at risk.
The newly constructed bus park, playground, and covered hall under construction in Melamchi are also at risk of flooding.
