Water supply from Melamchi suspended

The Melamchi Water Supply Board has suspended the water supply from the Melamchi River in Sindhupalchowk to the Kathmandu Valley starting from Monday. According to the board sources, with the flood in the river, it turned murky, leading to the closure of the water supply to the Valley. The supply will be resumed after the rainy season ends. The government regularises the water supplies from Melamchi during the monsoon bearing in mind its possible consequences on its headworks and other structures.
