The Beni-Jomsom road in Mustang has remained completely blocked for six days after heavy rainfall from Asoj 8 to 11 triggered floods, landslides and river cutting. The closure has disrupted the transport of fuel and caused a shortage of petroleum products in the district.
The fuel shortage has affected work on the Beni-Jomsom-Korala road as well as development projects run by federal, provincial and local governments.
