The Mahendra Highway has been blocked due to landslides. The 7 km road from Dumkiwas to West Downe is now jammed.
A 12-wheeler truck could not climb uphill at a place called West 65 turn, 4 km from Dumkiwas, and it was jammed since 12 noon on Tuesday.
As the road became slippery due to normal rains, there was a jam in the road area of about 7 km. There is a long traffic jam from Mahendra Highway from Hongsi Gate to West Market. Hundreds of westbound vehicles have stopped.
Rajan Timilsina, police inspector of Dumkiwas area police office, said that due to the rain, the highway was slippery and sometimes it was not possible to go uphill. It is raining, the road is slippery. It is difficult to open the jam until the highway is dry," he said.
Between Dumkiwas and Bardghat under the Mahendra Rajmarg, there is a hill under the 14 km road. When there is normal rain, the highway is jammed for hours due to vehicle skids. Locals say that the highway will be blocked because the Chinese contractor did not put gravel to remove the mud from the highway. Since last June, the highway has been jammed 21 times. When there is normal rain, there is a jam in the river.
