Vehicles have started moving on the Daunne road section that was blocked due to slippery roads due to rain. Vehicles that were stopped since 8 am are now moving towards their destinations at around 4 pm.

The Daunne road section was slippery due to the rain that fell since midday on Wednesday, causing a long traffic jam on the highway. 'We have now moved the vehicles that were stopped since morning. It has become easier,' said Kushal Bartaula, the District Traffic Police Chief in Daunne, 'Traffic is being made easier by placing gravel on the slippery highway.'

The problem arose because the highway was slippery on a hill 4 km west of Dumkibas, making it difficult for vehicles to climb uphill. Bartaula informed that work is being done to push the vehicles by using an excavator.

'We came from Bardaghat towards Narayangadh at around 8 am. It took more than 6 hours to cut the 7-kilometer road,' said Abin Baral of Pokhara, 'What are the government ministers waiting for when Daunne is in such a bad condition?'

Baral informed that the vehicle that arrived at Daunne Bazaar at 8 am was heading towards Dumkibas a while ago. The vehicle is moving at a snail's pace. What is the Chinese contractor responsible for widening the Daunne road section waiting for when the highway is slippery,' he asked, 'The government seems oblivious to this condition of the country's lifeline road.'
