The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has built a trek route for the time being, he said.
The Darma, Vyas and Chaudas valleys were cut off from the rest of the border districts on Thursday after a 48-metre-long concrete bridge was washed away following heavy rains. The bridge was built over the Kulagar rivulet on the Tanakpur-Tawaghat national highway, close to the Indo-China border, district official AK Shukla said. A trek route has been developed as a substitute by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for the time being, he said. Transshipment is being done along a 100-metre area to reach either side of the breached road, Mr Shukla said.More Related News
