KATHMANDU: A massive dry landslide occurred in Dharche of Dharche Rural Municipality in Gorkha district at around 7 a.m. on Saturday.
The landslide struck a barren area above the Budhi Gandaki River, near the Yaru Bridge, according to rural municipality Chairperson Laxman Gurung.
No casualties or property damage have been reported so far.
“There is no damage. There was a house a little further down, but its occupants had already moved elsewhere, so it has not been affected,” Gurung said.
Locals knew about the landslide after hearing a loud noise and seeing a cloud of dust early in the morning.
According to Gurung, the landslide has covered a vast area.
“The landslide occurred very close to the Budhi Gandaki River. The river has not been blocked so far,” he said. “However, if it gets blocked, that could create a serious problem.”
