Myagdi. After the construction of a bridge at Bangkhola in Muna, Dhawalagiri Rural Municipality-3, the problem of having to cross the river at great risk during the rainy season has been eliminated. Dhawalagiri Rural Municipality has constructed a 12-meter-long steel bridge at Lower Bangkhola and a nine-meter-long steel bridge at Upper Bangkhola with a budget of Rs. 1.2 million.
After the flood in Bangkhola washed away the suspension bridge last July, there was a problem in movement on the trekking route going from Muna to Lulang-Gurja and Dhorpatan. According to Devendra Roka, Ward Chairman of Dhawalagiri-3, after the construction of the culvert bridge through the Consumers’ Committee, it has become easier for the residents of the three wards, as well as tourists visiting the Dhorpatan Guerilla and Dolpa trekking routes.
Since it had to be built quickly in a place with a short ghat, the bridge was constructed using culvert technology by raising the machinery walls on the right and left sides of the river and attaching iron. After the bridge was built, the obligation to cross the raging flood waters of Bangkhola during the rainy season has been eliminated.
Similarly, the pipeline of the first small hydropower project of Munako Darkhola, which was washed away by the Bangkhola flood, has been reconstructed.
Ward Chairman Roka said that an iron bridge has been built over Bangkhola with a budget of 800,000 and arrangements have been made to divert water by laying polythene pipes. Five hundred and eighty households have benefited from the first micro-hydropower project of the 50-kilowatt capacity Darkhola.
Dargaun connected to the road network
Similarly, Dargaun of Dhawalagiri Rural Municipality-3 has been connected to the road network. With the help of Dhawalagiri Rural Municipality, the residents of Dar have constructed a road connecting the village through the Consumers Committee. Dhawalagiri Rural Municipality-3 technician Dipendra Thapa said that a one-kilometer, five-hundred-meter road connecting Muna-Mudi road to Dargaon has been constructed with a grant of Rs 2.7 million from the rural municipality.
One hundred households in Dargaon have benefited after the construction of the road. It has become easier to move around, transport daily necessities and construction materials, and export agricultural and livestock products produced in the village.
The rural municipality had allocated Rs 500,000 in the fiscal year 2079/80, Rs 1.3 million in 2080/81, and Rs 1 million in the current fiscal year 2081/82 for the construction of the road connecting Dargaon.
