Engineer Krishna Acharya, information officer of Bharatpur's divisional road office informed that the road has been opened since five o'clock in the morning.
Narayangadh-Muglin road is operating in a one-way manner. The road, which was blocked by a landslide in the Tuin river near Muglin on Friday evening, was opened one-way yesterday Sunday afternoon after 45 hours.
The Chitwan District Safety Committee had decided to prohibit driving on that stretch of road from 9:00 p.m. on Sunday night until 5:00 a.m., saying that there was still a risk of landslides and rock fall. Engineer Krishna Acharya, information officer of Bharatpur's divisional road office informed that the road has been opened since five o'clock in the morning.
Because the road was closed for three days, thousands of vehicles and passengers were stranded on the road. Engineer Acharya says that after the traffic volume on the road decreases, the landslides will be cleared by allowing two-way traffic. Chief of Chitwan District Traffic Police Office, Police Inspector Ganayatri Ramaj Sharma appealed to the drivers to drive only according to their lane on the road.
He said that the traffic on the road is very low. The police have asked the drivers not to overtake the vehicle in front of them, as the traffic management will be disrupted and traffic jams may occur due to the vehicle in front.
