A fuel shortage is hampering repairs to the Beni-Jomsom-Korla road in Myagdi, where landslides and flooding caused by heavy rainfall have disrupted the route. The road was rendered impassable after multiple landslides in the preceding week.
The corridor is a vital route connecting China and India via Nepal. Insufficient fuel supplies are now the main obstacle to restoration work on its Myagdi section.
Rainfall and landslides disrupt the corridor
Sustained rainfall triggered multiple landslides and flooding, further disrupting the road. The resulting damage has left the route impassable and complicated efforts to restore access.
Fuel shortage slows repair work
Repair work on the Myagdi section is being impeded by inadequate fuel supplies. With the road already disrupted by landslides and flooding, the shortage has become the main barrier to restoration.
