Bhumlichok of Gandaki Village Council in Gorkha

The Trishuli river linking Bhumlichok of Gandaki Village Council in Gorkha and Rolang of Jogimara in Dhading has snapped, leaving locals at their wit's end, as it was the only means of crossing the river.People now either have to swim or use rafting boats to cross the river. The tuin was constructed five years ago.Ninety families live in Bhumlichok. Students have been affected the most after the tuin broke down.
Tilak Chepang, a teacher at Shankha Devi, said 30 students of Bhumlichok are facing a hard time reaching their school which is across the river.
"Twenty-six students have started staying in a hostel. The tuin string snapped at a time when examinations are going on, "he said, adding that some students swim across the river. "But this is risky." Students said if they have to cross the river safely, they have to use a bridge, which is an hour's walk from their village.
