The grief of the Narayangadh-Butwal road section that started on the 26th of January last after the iron bridge on the Binayi river at Dumkibas on the Mahendra Highway was broken is still the same. It has been more than 5 months now that this section of the highway has been completely disrupted due to frequent flooding in the Vinay river. Those who are at risk, more than 18,000 vehicle drivers and passengers pass through this road every day.

After the bridge was broken due to an overloaded Indian cargo lorry, the road department diverted the traffic from the north side of the bridge. But after the rains, after the river rises, diversions flow again and again and the traffic is stopped again and again.

Inspector Rajan Timilsina of Dumkibas area police office said that this diversion has been carried out 9 times. Every time the diversion takes place, thousands of passengers and drivers who are going to their destination through this road are suffering. 

It has been 4 days since Krishna Bahadur Shrestha, who was driving the truck number Na 5 B 7411 on the Bhairawa-Kathmandu route, got stuck at Bardghat. The police told him not to go ahead saying that the diversion of Dumkibas was swept away by the flood. "It has been 4 days since I came to this place after loading from Birganj on 1st through Bhairawa. For 4 days, Dumkibasari stayed standing. It's been 10 days today . In 10 days, how much pain, how much happiness, how much heat was experienced,' he said.

Buddhisagar Neupane, another truck driver who traveled from Bhairahawa to Kathmandu, has also stopped at Bardghat for 4 days. He also narrated the experience of some of his friends getting infected with dengue due to mosquito bites and being admitted to the hospital when the drivers had to stop for several days. Neupane said angrily, 'I also blame the above ministers. Ministers don't know this ? Ministers haven't seen this ? It happens only by raising the matter in the parliament.

Subodh Paswan, a truck driver of No. 6 Kha 3699, who walked from Bhairawa carrying potatoes and onions, has also been stuck at Bardghat for 4 days . Stating that he could not even sleep because of the smell of rotting potatoes and onions due to the hot summer, he said, 'We will allow cars and buses to go for up to ten hours. Not letting our 12 pills go ? When we ask the police, we don't know anything, they say there is no order from above . We have 22 vehicles carrying potatoes. Everything is decaying . Can't sleep smelling.'  

52 years ago, the iron bridge of Vinayi river was built . During the widening of the highway, a concrete bridge over the river has also been completed. Two weeks ago, the concrete bridge collapsed. According to the road department, after four weeks of the slope, vehicles will be able to drive over it. Since it will be four weeks after the slope on June 22, it seems that passengers will have to suffer in Binayi River until then. 

Between Dumkibas in East Nawalparasi and Bardghat Bazar in West Nawalparasi, the 14-kilometer long road is now the hottest problem . Due to modern and extremely steep and bumpy roads, the latter  This road section is frequently blocked. Those who are being killed, thousands of passengers .

There are 4 big culverts under construction on the south road 4 km west of Dumkibas. Even when the road is open, it remains jammed here because only one-way traffic is allowed at that place.
