Similarly, the Tamor Corridor, which connects Dharan in Sunsari to Panchthar and Taplejung via Mulghat in Dhankuta, has also been blocked due to floods. The traffic has come to a standstill due to the increase in water flow in the Nawa River on the border of Panchthar and Dhankuta under the Tamor Corridor.
