An estimated sum of nearly Rs 90 million is required to repair and reconstruct the Beni–Darbang–Muna road in Myagdi following extensive damage from floods, landslides and river erosion. The Infrastructure Development Office in Myagdi reported that approximately 22 locations along the route have suffered damage, affecting transport links to the administrative centre of Dhaulagiri Rural Municipality. Reconstruction estimates vary by section, with the Beni–Panabagar portion projected to cost Rs 46.25 million. Additionally, rebuilding the damaged Balute section along the Panabagar–Darbang road is expected to require Rs 22.74 million. Meanwhile, authorities have managed to open a track on the damaged section of the Beni-Jomsom-Korala road to help restore movement. Further construction work is planned across the district to address the extensive infrastructure issues caused by recent weather events.
