Heavy Rainfall Triggers Landslide at Bhaleydhunga; Authorities Monitor Impact on Nearby Projects
Yangyang Region: Heavy rainfall in the Yangyang region triggered a landslide at Bhaleydhunga, prompting authorities to assess the situation and monitor the stability of the affected area.
According to preliminary reports, continuous rainfall weakened a section of the hillside, resulting in the collapse of soil and rocks in the Bhaleydhunga area. No casualties or major damage to nearby infrastructure were immediately reported.
The incident has drawn attention because of its proximity to the Bhaleydhunga Skywalk and ropeway projects, which are currently under development to enhance tourism and connectivity in the region.
Officials stated that there is no immediate threat to the projects at present. However, inspections are ongoing to evaluate the condition of the surrounding terrain and determine whether additional precautionary measures are required.
Experts have noted that continued heavy rainfall could increase the risk of further slope instability in vulnerable areas. Authorities are therefore maintaining close surveillance of the site and reviewing safety measures.
Residents living near landslide-prone zones have been advised to remain alert and follow instructions issued by local authorities, particularly as weather forecasts indicate the possibility of additional rainfall in the coming days.
The Bhaleydhunga Skywalk and ropeway projects are expected to contribute to regional tourism development. Officials said a detailed assessment of the landslide’s impact will be conducted as monitoring and inspection activities continue.
Further updates are expected following the completion of geological and safety evaluations.
