On record

A cable suspension truss bridge carrying the sole water-supply pipeline to Meluri district headquarters was washed away by incessant rainfall on September 16, 2025, leaving the entire town without water supply.

The official record states: "Local reports attributed the collapse to heavy rain-driven flooding of the Tizu river; no formal departmental explanation reported."

“The town's only water pipeline hung from one bridge. The rain took the bridge, then the water.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“The entire district headquarters got its water through one pipeline on one suspension bridge over the Tizu.”
