Kaligandaki River has been blocked by a massive landslide which occurred in Baishari of Bhagwati VDC along the Beni-Mustang highway.
Western Regional Administrator Dinesh Thapaliya said 70 percent of the River’s water has been blocked by the landslide which hit at 2 am.
“The site of landslide lies at 8 km above Beni, the district headquarters of Myagdi. As it might pose danger to the locals, we’re moving them to safer locations,” he said. “I’ve requested Army helicopter from Kathmandu. They’ll arrive soon after dawn.” SETOPATI
