21 August, Babiyachaur (Myagdi): The construction of a tunnel of Ghalemdi Hydro Power Project at Narchyang of Annapurna rural municipality – 4 has been completed.
Two tunnels constructed from the dam and outlet were linked together on Sunday under the five – megawatt project being developed by the Ghalemdi Hydro Ltd.
A 1000 – metre tunnel was constructed from the outlet which was linked with the 695 – metre tunnel jutting out from the dam, according to company’s Chairman, Kishor Subedi.
Due to lack of a road network to the dam located in the lap of Mt Annapurna, the necessary building materials had been transported on a mule. The tunnel was dug out with use of explosives under the supervision of Nepal Army and the police force. RSS
