पहिरोले बनाएको अस्थायी बाँध फुट्दा बूढीगण्डकीमा बाढी आएको आशंका

आइतबार बिहान नेपालको बूढीगण्डकी नदी प्रणालीमा विनाशकारी आकस्मिक बाढी आएको छ। गोरखा जिल्लाको चुम्चेत नजिकै पहिरोले नदी थुनिएर बनेको अस्थायी बाँध फुटेका कारण बाढी आएको हुनसक्ने प्रारम्भिक विवरणले देखाएको छ। नेपालका सरकारी निकायका प्रारम्भिक प्रतिवेदन समीक्षा गरेको अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय पर्वतीय एकीकृत विकास केन्द्र (आईसीआईमोड) का अनुसार पहिरोले नदी थुनेर अस्थायी अवरोध बनाएको र त्यो पछि भत्किएर बाढी आएको हुनसक्छ। बाढी अक्टोबर ११ मा नेपाली समय अनुसार बिहान करिब ४ बजेदेखि सुरु भएको अनुमान गरिएको छ, जसले माटो, तलछट र भग्नावशेष तल्लो तटीय क्षेत्रमा बगाएको छ।
