POKHARA: A landslide triggered by continuous rainfall has blocked the Seti River in Pokhara.
The landslide occurred after river erosion affected the Ratophairoma area along the border of Pokhara Metropolitan City-15 and 17, obstructing the river’s flow.
Following reports of the incident, a team comprising Kaski Chief District Officer Kuman Singh Gurung, Kaski District Police Office Chief SP Nabin Karki, and Deputy Mayor of Pokhara Metropolitan City, Manju Devi Gurung reached the site on Sunday morning to inspect the situation.
The river water has not been able to flow freely due to the landslide. Deputy Mayor Gurung said the water level has risen by around 50 meters above the point where the landslide blocked the river.
