Two big sinkholes formed in Pokhara

By Anonymous
Two big sinkholes have been formed in the city of Pokhara. The larger sinkhole is about eight feet wide and seven feet deep on Gagan man marg, in front of Kalika Boarding School. It was reported 8:30 p.m., BWS spokesman Harikrishna Mahat said.  The agency's crews noticed a nearby patch in the street and traced it back to Sept. 15 road work to repair a water main leak.

The trench was compacted and repairs completed by 5:15 a.m., so residents weren't affected, he added. source:staradvertiser.com
