Traffic has come to a standstill after a dry landslide occurred near Jawangkhola in Dhading along the Nagadhunga-Muglin road. On Monday at 11 o'clock in the night, traffic was blocked due to the landslide. The road department said that it could not be removed due to the risk of falling stones at night.
The head of the Malekhu-Muglin Road Plan, West Section, Kedar Prasad Nepal, said that work is currently being done to remove landslides from both sides and if no more landslides occur, the one-way road will be put into operation by one o'clock in the afternoon. "Unable to remove the landslide of Tuinkhola under the Narayangadh-Muglin road, there has been a problem due to a landslide near Jawang river, one and a half kilometers from Mauvakhola towards Dhading," he said. Keshav Prasad Ojha, head of Nagadhunga-Muglin Road Plan Eastern Section, said that even though small landslides occurred in Nagadhunga-Malekhu section, traffic has been started. "There is not much problem in this section. Machines and technical manpower have been deployed in the risk areas of possible landslides," he said. More than 15,000 vehicles pass through this road every day.
The road department said that a decision will be taken only after discussing with the consultant and the construction company about running passenger vehicles on Dasain through Nagadhunga-Sisnokhola tunnel. According to Prabhat Kumar Jha, Deputy Director General and Spokesperson of the Road Department, the Kodari section of Arani Highway has been operational since Monday afternoon. The department says that there is no problem now. The road section was blocked since July 17. As a result, the Tatopani border was blocked.
With the opening of the road, goods for Dasain have started coming in from Tatopani crossing. Narayanadatta Bhandari, Head of Road Division Office, Dolakha, said that since the road is used for transporting large and long containers, work is being done to improve it. "The road has been opened, we are still working on improving it as it is a road for large containers carrying goods," he said. But if it rains heavily, there is still a risk of landslides. According to the project office, there is no problem so far in the Narayangadh-Butwal road section, where the passengers were suffering after the
and especially during the festival. When it rains in this section, there is a problem of vehicles slipping and stopping when going uphill. Vijay Jaisi, Director General of the Road Department, said that machines and technical personnel were deployed to solve such problems immediately. According to him, there is no problem on BP highway either.
In October last year, when the flood swept away 12 kilometers of the road, commuters traveling through the BP highway were killed. Around 10,000 vehicles pass through this highway during Dasain.
One-way traffic is operating at Tuinkhola on the Narayangadh-Muglin road, which has been closed for 45 hours. The department said that small stones are falling from above and traffic is not blocked due to landslides. The department also says that no major problems have been seen on major highways and roads in other parts of the country.
