The
TarPul crossing at Gadhi allows easy access between the primary
school at Gadhi and the high school located on the other bank
at Ambhanjang. With the addition of this TarPul, travel time to
Hetauda, the nearest major road head and District Center, is decreased
by nearly four hours. There, residents can find major medical
facilities and markets, and students are able to receive higher
education training without moving from their villages. Construction
of this TarPul was requested by the Gadhi VDC Secretary whose
mother drowned while attempting to cross the river at this site
18 years earlier.
update:
The TarPul at Gadhi was broken in a flood (Aug 04). The community
have requested that ecosystems return and survey the damage.
