Power and internet services disrupted in Mustang for 36 hours

Electricity and internet services remained completely cut off across Mustang for a day and a half following severe weather. Continuous rain brought down trees and caused river erosion that heavily affected regional utility networks. The power disruption occurred when transmission lines linking the district to Parbat suffered structural damage from floods. Utility officials noted that the local substation in Myagdi could not be charged, leading to a complete shutdown of regular electricity distribution. Telecommunications infrastructure also sustained significant harm after optical-fiber cables broke in numerous places across neighboring districts. While fixed internet lines went down, technicians reported that specific localities retained mobile telephone and 4G connectivity via solar-powered radio links. Repair teams departed from Jomsom to examine the extent of the damage along the power transmission route. Personnel worked to clear fallen timber from affected rural municipality areas to prepare for restoration efforts.
