Escaping streak surge

A blaze surge on the Bhotekosi River that streams down from Tibet to Nepal has cleared away houses dislodging the inhabitants of Tatopani and close-by towns including Liping and Das Kilo.

The 45 MW Bhotekosi Hydropower and the under development 102 MW Mid-Bhotekosi Hydropower were likewise harmed in the surge, alongside the 30 km Tatopani-Lamosangu segment of the Kodari Highway.

Tatopani was gradually limping back to ordinary after a year ago's seismic tremor, however the surge has at the end of the day transformed it into an apparition town.
