You might be wondering whether to go home for Dasain or not. how is the road He may be thinking about whether he can reach home or not. On Thursday, Dasain has entered the house with Ghatasthana. But for those leaving the valley and going home, the road condition is chaotic.

Sometimes the road is blocked and sometimes there is a traffic jam. The road trip for those going home this Dasain is likely to be a bit tougher than in previous years. About 12 km of road has been washed away by flood in various places of Dhulikhel-Nepalthok section of BP highway. Keshav Kumar Sharma, secretary of the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, says that there is a problem in making this road operational because the flood has caused great damage and Dasain has come.

"Efforts to open the road by creating diversions are continuing," he says, "Since December has come, there is a problem in bringing the road into operation." He said that the road has been cleared and the vehicles coming from Bardibas via BP highway have been prepared to enter Kathmandu via Dolalghat. At present, landslide removal work is going on in this section. During the festival, more than 10,000 vehicles pass through the BP highway. However, at this time this highway is unstable due to floods and landslides. 

The vehicles passing through the highway have been diverted towards Nagadhunga-Muglin, Chandragiri-Hetaunda roads. Big vehicles are going east through Nagadhunga-Muglin road. Now, although the road section from Nagadhunga to Muglin has been made two-way, passengers reach their destination only after hours of traffic jam. 

In some places, the road has been made one-way due to flooding. So there is no option to bear the jam. Keshav Prasad Ojha, Head of Nagadhunga-Muglin Road Project, East Section, said that the road will not be ready for traffic before Dasain. "Now, the landslides on the road have been removed and made two-way, he said, "If it rains, we will remove the landslides." This road is dusty when the sun shines and muddy when it rains. Passengers have to suffer more and more. 

Only since last Thursday, there has been a problem with 500 small and big landslides in 55 km of Malekhu section from Nagadhunga. Landslides have fallen everywhere you look. There the mountain is scattered. More than 30 machines have been placed in different sections of the road to remove landslides. Under the Nagadhunga-Malekhu road, the areas that are prone to landslides are Furke Khola, Jhaple Khola, 13 km, Charkilo, the mouth of Nagadhunga tunnel and the area around Khatripauwa. 

Currently, there is a lot of traffic in and out of Kathmandu in this section. More than 20,000 vehicles pass through this road every day. After BP Highway, Kanti Highway was closed due to landslides, traffic congestion has increased on this road section, Chief Ojha said. Malekhu-Muglin road section also has 50 meters of road washed away in Krishnabhir. 

The most prone to landslides are Ratmate, near Sheetal Bazar, Malinga, near Vishal Bazar, Jamireghat, Jawang Khola, Mauwa Khola and Ghoptevir, said Kedar Prasad Nepal, head of Nagadhunga-Muglin Road Plan West Section. Landslides have occurred in various sections of BP, Kanti, Madhyapahari, Araniko and Mechi highways, which are currently the most problematic highways. 

Due to the rain, 805 places of 34 highways were blocked by landslides, according to the data of the Ministry of Physical Sciences. At present, roads are blocked at 31 places of 5 main highways. The work of collecting details of the damage is continuing and according to preliminary estimates, it is estimated that it will cost around three and a half billion rupees just to start temporary traffic on the roads and bridges. It is estimated that it will cost 20 to 25 billion rupees to permanently restore all the damaged structures. According to the Department of Transport Management, the passenger buses departing from Kathmandu during the festival have been coordinated so that they can reach their destinations safely and on time.

not in advance booking attraction 

Even though advance ticket booking has been opened from October 12, the attraction of passengers is low. In previous years, around two million passengers used to leave the valley during Dasain. This time the number of transporters is not enough. Due to the problems on the roads everywhere, there is always the fear of getting stuck in traffic jams and landslides when it rains. As a result, this time there is no pressure for passengers to leave the valley. Transport professionals say.

Another problematic road section is Narayangadh-Butwal. It has been 6 years since the expansion of this road. The work is not done yet. It is because of this road that it is difficult for passengers to reach their destination. At present, there is a risk of vehicle slips and accidents due to landslides and mudslides from the hills. Vehicles from the west are forced to come to Kathmandu via Syangja, Pokhara.
