The Kalikot section of the Karnali Corridor has been blocked due to rain since Tuesday evening. Police have said that the landslides caused by Tuesday night's rain blocked the road from Lalighat to Bhautekuna in Narharinath in Kalikot, the Reginal section of Sannitriveni, and the Ghatpari section of Pachaljharana.
The road has been blocked in places due to the rains last night. Kalikot Police Chief DSP Him Bahadur Khatri said that more than 300 passengers and more than a hundred vehicles have been stranded on the road since Wednesday morning. According to him, even though JCVs have gone to clear the landslide, the road has not been operational due to the rains again. DSP Khatri said that there is no possibility of the road opening immediately if the rains do not stop. The dozer has been working since morning. He said that it is difficult to clear the landslide as the landslide has flowed on 3 kilometers of the road.
Vehicles coming from Raskot, Sannitriveni, Pachaljharana, Bajura and Humla in Kalikot via the Karnali Corridor have been stopped at various places, while vehicles coming from Surkhet have also been stopped at Khulalu. Patients, exam candidates and passengers travelling on special work have been stopped at Lalighat, Raiginal, Sannigad and Khulalu, said Prem Chaulagain of Raskot, who was on his way to Surkhet.
Dhan Bahadur KC, 76, of Sannitriveni, who had come from Surkhet after crossing the valley, has been stopped at Lalighat in Kalikot since 2 pm after the road was blocked. 'I am not in a position to return home today,' he said. 'There is no place to stay in Lalighat, there is a problem.'
