Due to the rain, the section of Daunna, which was blocked due to silt, has been put into operation. According to Superintendent of Police Yadav Dhakal, the traffic has been operational since 3 pm on Saturday.

Since Thursday, the vehicles stopped at Downne have been made to cross one by one. The highway was being opened and closed there for 72 hours as vehicles stuck in the hills and mud due to rain could not cross. 

Due to a landslide in the Tuin river on the Muglin-Narayangadh road section, the vehicle traveling from Kathmandu to Bhairahawa-Butwal stopped there. 

China State Engineering Corporation Pvt. Ltd., which has taken the contract for the construction of Mahendra Highway, has demolished the black sheet to widen the highway. About 7 km (one-way) of the 14 km road in Downne between Dumkibas-Bardghat has been sloped.
