Flooding in the Mahakali River has damaged a pillar of the suspension bridge connecting Dodhara Chandani and Bheemdatt municipalities in Kanchanpur of Sudur Paschim province.
The suspension bridge built over the Mahakali River in Dodhara Chandani Municipality-4, which connects Dodhara Chandani Municipality with Bheemdatt Municipality, was damaged by the Mahakali flood on Wednesday morning.
According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Tek Bahadur Rawat, spokesperson for the District Police Office, the floodwaters of the Mahakali River damaged the bridge’s pillar at around 7:45 a.m. on Wednesday.
As a result, the bridge broke in the middle, making it difficult for the general public to cross the river, DSP Rawat said.
About six meters of the middle section of the bridge on the Dodhara side has been raised, causing disruptions to pedestrian movement, he added.
