Most of the rural roads in the Rolpa district are damaged due to flooding and landslips caused due to monsoon rain, making mobility very tough for the local people.
The road connectivity to Badachaur, Harjang, Gumchal, Siyuri, and Gam is suspected for long from Sulichaur, one of the key market centers in the district's eastern area. The local people have to walk for two days to arrive at the Sulichaur market.
Harka Ghartimagar of Syuri village in Sunchhahari Rural Municipality-4 said that the patients, senior citizens, women, and children are mostly affected because of the poor road network.
The people are facing hardships to visit banks, hospitals, and markets in Sulichaur.
The local people have complained about less attention from the part of the local government and other stakeholders for the maintenance of the dilapidated roads.
Likewise, people from the western and northern belts in Rolpa have also faced the same sort of problems. With the rain, Shahidmarga and Rampur-Kapurkot road sections in the district have remained muddy for a long. Shahidmagar is 138 km long from Dang to Thawang along Holeri in Rolpa.
Driver Tilak Budha Magar said that they are driving along the routes amid high risks most of the time.
Similarly, the locals are obliged to walk on foot for long as the local roads in the district are disrupted due to monsoon rain.
Chief of Road Infrastructure Development Office, Dipak Dang said that most of the roads in the district are disturbed due to falling stones and downward landslips.
