Vehicular traffic is going to be stopped in the lower part of the Narayangadh-Butwal road section for road expansion. The decision was taken at a meeting of stakeholders from the east and west of Nawalparasi Bardghat Susta on Saturday.

Ghanshyam Giri, chairman of Binayi Triveni Rural Municipality, said that it was decided to stop non-essential vehicle operation from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. in Daunne area from 27th of Chait to 31st of Chait from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm and from 1st of Baisakh to 15th of Baisakh.

'It has been decided to stop traffic for a few hours every day in order to carry out the necessary maintenance in the lower section and to carry out the traffic in a smooth manner and to complete the work of cutting towards the wall in that section before the rains,' he said. 

Nawalparasi Bardghat East and West district coordination head, chief district officer, head of Bardghat municipality, head of Vinayi Triveni rural municipality, head of planning of both plans, consultant of the plan, construction professionals and heads of security agencies decided to speed up the construction even if the road is closed for a few hours every day.

In other areas of the Narayangadh-Butwal road section, although the road section has been paved, rough roads, narrow curves, temporary diversions made for construction and bumpy roads have made travel difficult. Due to the lack of timely reconstruction of the structures destroyed during the road expansion, passengers are forced to suffer everyday.
