Repair work on the Maldhunga Bridge, damaged by flooding in the Kali Gandaki River on Ashoj 11, is progressing rapidly. The bridge connects Parbat and Baglung districts, but has remained closed for 14 days, disrupting transportation in Baglung and other parts of western Nepal. The bridge has yet to reopen because floodwaters washed away the approach road on the Parbat side.
