  • Paudwar village in Myagdi district is facing a natural blockade following heavy rain.
  • Landslides triggered between 8 and 11 Asoj damaged local roads and walking trails.
  • Electricity services to the affected settlement have been completely disrupted.

The settlement of Paudwar, situated in Annapurna rural municipality-5 within Myagdi district, has been placed under a natural blockade following severe weather conditions. According to reports, relentless precipitation spanning from 8 to 11 Asoj triggered destructive landslides across the terrain, leaving the locality isolated from surrounding areas. The resulting landslips severely damaged both vehicular roadways and pedestrian trails connecting the village to other locations. Furthermore, the adverse weather and subsequent damage disrupted local electricity services, leaving the community grappling with infrastructure failures and communication hurdles as repair works await clearance. Local administration and community members are assessing the extent of the damage caused by the continuous downpours. Reports indicate that restoring normal movement and power supplies will require extensive clearance operations along the blocked paths and damaged electrical grids.
