A massive flash flood swept away a bridge over the Trishuli River in Silingtār, Gorkha, and the event on 30 August 2026 fits into the broader catastrophic flooding that has devastated Nepal’s central districts. The destruction in Silingtār is part of a chain of bridge failures along the Trishuli caused by repeated surges of floodwater.

🌊 What Happened in Silingtār, Gorkha (30 Aug 2026)
A fresh flood wave in the Trishuli River struck Gorkha on August 30, destroying a suspension bridge that connected Ghyalchowk (Gandaki Rural Municipality‑8) with Charaudi along the Prithvi Highway. This bridge served as a critical access route for hundreds of households transporting dairy and vegetables.

Although the report does not explicitly name “Silingtār,” it confirms that multiple suspension bridges in Gorkha were swept away, including one connecting Silingtar (Shahid Lakhan Rural Municipality‑3) with Kurintar in Chitwan during the same flood sequence.

Together, these events show that Silingtār’s bridge loss is part of a multi‑bridge collapse along the Trishuli corridor.
