Galkot,
June 23 (RSS): The landslide occurred in various parts in Baglung district has
damaged the pipe supplying drinking water to Balung bazaar. The drinking water
pipe was swept away at origin of Bhudikhola, Dobillo and Resam, which has
completely disrupted the drinking water supply.
The
Baglung bazaar has been facing acute shortage of drinking water for two days.
Manager at Baglung Municipal Water and Sanitation Consumers' Association, Himal
Sharma, said they had no other alternative after the pipe was damaged by the
landslides. Although the employees were mobilized for repairing and replacing
the water pipe, the incessant rainfall occurred on Sunday badly hampered the
work.
"It
is taking much time for the technicians to fix problems because it was damaged
in various places," he said, adding that it would take some more days for
the bazaar people to have regular supply of drinking water.
In
some places like Jireti of Resham area, it is difficult to access. Daily 20
litres water per second is supplied to Baglung bazaar from Bhudi stream.
