Sindhupalchok: Floods in the Yangri and Indrawati rivers last night damaged the 7.5 MW Indrawati III Hydropower Project. The dam in Tipeni of Panchpokhari has been filled with sand, and the substation and power house have suffered damage, according to Tashi Lama, chair of Panchpokhari Thangpal Rural Municipality.

As a result, power supply in most parts of constituency number 2 of the district has been interrupted. Additionally, the road from Khaldekhola to Tipeni has been blocked.

Local resident Galbo Samden reported that the bridge connecting Chinde Jatan, along with the Yangri bridge, were also swept away by the flood. The Yangri and Indrawati rivers have washed away agricultural land along the riverbanks.

The Bailey bridge built last year in Melamchi, which connects Melamchi, Indrawati, and Panchpokhari, is also at risk. Similarly, the newly constructed bus park, playground, and covered hall under construction in Melamchi are said to be at risk of flooding.
