Test supply of water has been conducted along the 532 kilometers of pipelines, out of 1,010 kilometers of connectivity, developed by the Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited Project Implementation Directorate for the distribution of water collected from the Melamchi River in Sindhupalchowk district.
According to Directorate Spokesperson Chandra Kumar Pan Shrestha, preparations go on for test supply in the remaining areas. The test was carried out in the new distribution system.

Teams were promptly mobilized to restore the damaged structures, it is said.
