HUMLA: A suspension bridge has been constructed to replace a Tuin or ropeway crossing over the Karnali river in Kharpunath Rural Municipality.

A new suspension bridge has been constructed by removing the ropeway cross at Lighe in Lalibagar to connect Kharpunath-1 and 2.

Ward-2 Chair Chandrabir Rawal said that after the construction of the suspension bridge on the Karnali river at Lighe in Lalibagar the mobility of the citizens of Wards 1 and 2 has become efficient and safer.

This was the last ropeway crossing to be replaced and now the entire rural municipality is free of Tuins, said Rawal.
