Bheri River

Bheri River

The Bheri River is a major river in western Nepal.

On December 25, 2007 a suspension bridge collapsed along the river in Chunchu village. "Scores" of people crossed the 500m steel bridge to get to a local Christmas Day fair. At least 15 people were killed and at least 22 were injured. Most of the killed were women and children. The river supposedly had strong currents.
