Kathmandu, January 12
The Melamchi Water Supply Project has started releasing water to the tunnel from the headworks at Sindhupalchok.
Melamchi Water Supply Project spokesperson Rajendra Pant said that water has been released to the tunnel from the site of the dam to clean the tunnel.
According to him, the turbid water being cleaned from the tunnel will be extracted through the audit tunnels in Ambathan, Gyalthum, and Sundarijal.
He said that once the water sent to the tunnel becomes clear, it will be directed to Kathmandu in its entirety.
However, he said that determining the exact duration for cleaning the tunnel and establishing a regular water supply schedule is currently not feasible.
