Rampur (Palpa), July 15
An auxillary dam of the 144-MW Kaligandaki ‘A’ Hydro Power Project, Nepal’s largest hydel, has collapsed due to incessant rains, putting the Andhimuhan village and the vicinity in peril.
A rain-fed Andhikhola River has changed its course, putting at least 12 houses at Andhimuhan, Sri Krishna Gandaki VDC-7, in grave danger.
The Andhikhola is causing erosion at Andhimuhan and surrounding areas, a local, Rumadevi Basyal, said.
The river has also put a suspension bridge connecting Sri Krishna Gandaki and Nibuwakharka VDC at high risk.
