JAJARKOT: Flights have been affected in Karnali Province for two days due to bad weather. The flights have been disrupted as it has been raining continuously.
Flights could not take place to and from Juphal Airport in Dolpa, Simkot Airport in Humla and Talcha Airport in Mugu due to the incessant rain.
Rajendra Thakulla, an engineer with the Thulibheri Municipality, Dolpa, said he was stranded in Nepalgunj due to the disruption of flight. "It has been two days waiting for the flight. I have not been able to fly to Dolpa due to the bad weather. There is also a problem travelling by road," he said.
Most of the people in these remote mountainous districts of Karnali rely on flights as roads have been damaged due to monsoon floods and landslides. They are affected as the flights also could not operate due to unfavourable weather.
Travelling by road has become risky as the water level in rivers and streams has increased. Humla has not been linked by road yet.
