TAMGHAS (Gulmi), Oct 22: A dry landslide at Okhareni area of Tamghas on Friday buried a power transformer sending the Udindhunga Bazaar into a blackout.
The landslide came crashing down on the 1oo KV transmitter and obstructed the power supply and a roadway leading to Bhuwanpani, Balkate and Naya Gaun from Tamghas, the Gulmi downtown.
The landslide has also posed a risk to the entire village in Bedkharka of Resunga Municipality – 8 and Tamghas Extensive Drinking Water Project.
