Engineer Krishna Acharya, information officer of Bharatpur's divisional road office, said that although the main landslide has been removed, the surrounding soil and stones are being cleared.
The main landslide in Tuinkhola was cleared around 9:30 pm on Thursday night. It took about 53 hours for the Division Road Office to remove the landslide.
Engineer Krishna Acharya, information officer of Bharatpur's divisional road office, said that although the main landslide has been removed, the nearby mud and stones are being cleared. He said that they are clearing all the obstacles in the landslide-affected area for the purpose of double traffic from today night. It is ready to drive around 11 o'clock at night.
This road was blocked after a big landslide occurred around 5 pm on Tuesday. This road was blocked for 45 hours continuously due to a landslide in Tuinkhola, which is two and a half kilometers from Muglin towards Narayangadh, since last Friday evening. The landslide that happened on Tuesday started to be cleared from Wednesday morning.
Four machines were used at the beginning and six at the last moment to remove the landslide. Since Friday, vehicles blocked by landslides could not pass properly, and on Tuesday, a large landslide again blocked the road.
As it is the main road that connects the capital Kathmandu and the tourist city Pokhara with the East-West Mahendra Highway, more than 10,000 vehicles travel back and forth on the Narayangarh-Muglin road every day. During Dasain, when there is a rush of people leaving Kathmandu, the road is closed for a long time and many people have suffered.
