The Rapti highway has been blocked due to the landslides that followed the continuous rain for two hours. The highway was blocked due to a landslide near Chorkhola in Kapurkot Rural Municipality.

As the highway was blocked, dozens of passenger vehicles and their passengers were stopped on the road for about an hour.

After the road was blocked by a landslide after the rains, the JCB is now being used to remove the landslide, said Police Inspector Baburam Basnet, Information Officer of the District Police Office, Salyan. 

As the work of upgrading the road is going on, the problem of landslides even when there is normal rain is making it difficult for the passengers to travel on that road section.
