Dry landslide damages eight containers near Tatopani in Rasuwa

Rasuwa: A dry landslide occurred here last night damaging eight containers parked near Tatopani in Rasuwa.

The vehicles, en route to Kerung for transporting goods, were stopped on the roadside with the information that the roadway towards Kerung had been blocked by the recent landslide. These containers were left on the roadside in the absence of a parking lot in the area.

Though the Syafrubesi-Rasuwa road section that was earlier disrupted by the rains resumed on Tuesday, containers heading to Kerung were unable to proceed due to road obstructions on the Chinese side.

It is said the Rasuwa District Administration has been urged informed by the Kerung administration that it will take around 40-50 days to restore the Rasuwagadhi-Kerung route as it has been significantly damaged by the landslide, according to the District Police Office, Rasuwa’s Chief Keshab Bhattarai.

Other containers presently stuck here have been urged to cancel the trips and return according to Bhattarai. With the resumption of the Syafrubesi-Rasuwagadhi section on Tuesday afternoon, 40 containers en route to Kerung entered Timure.
