The Flood In Manang Swept Away The Timan River Bridge The heavy rain on Tuesday washed away a culvert when the Timan River in Manang was flooded. According to District Administration Office Manang, the flood washed away the bridge at around 8 o’clock on Tuesday night.
District Administration Office Chief Subas Kumar Lamichhane informed that the road section connecting Lamjung’s Beshisahar and Manang’s Chame was completely blocked due to the collapse of the bridge. The flow of the river has not decreased. Traffic has been completely stopped since the bridge was also destroyed, he said.
Lamichhane says that the road cannot be opened until the flow of the river subsides. “Now the rain is a little less. But until the flow of water is reduced, there is a problem. There is no alternative way now, he said, ‘Now we have sent notices to stop vehicles here and there.’ Due to the collapse of the bridge, not only the road connection with Lamjung but also with the 3 local levels of Upper Manang has been cut off.
Similarly, the Timang waterfall in the lower area of Timang has also damaged a concrete bridge, according to the administration. CDO Lamichhan informed that there is no single data about the damage to the concrete bridge.
