Triveni (Nawalparasi): Sept 15 :
Police have restricted night-time vehicular movement along the Kaligandaki
corridor in Nawalparasi (Bardaghat-Susta-East).
The restriction has been imposed
due to ongoing construction in the corridor.
According to Deputy Superintendent
of Police (DSP) at the District Police Office, Nawalpur, Bed Bahadur Poudel,
the night-time vehicular movement has been restricted taking into consideration
the high risk of accident in the corridor construction areas.
The Kaligandaki corridor is around
87 kilometer long in Nawalpur. DSP Poudel said ban on vehicular movement has
been imposed to minimize risks. As mobile connectivity was a big problem in
almost half of the corridor section, it was difficult to carry out rescue works
if accident took place, he added.
"The corridor is under
construction. It has increased accident risks. Rescue has been a big issue in
the night time here", he further shared.
DSP Poudel said coordination was
being made with the Nepal Telecom in regard to the installation of a mobile
tower in the areas having less access to communications.
Vehicular movement will be allowed
after establishing access to communications and completing the construction of
corridor, he informed.
Almost 80 percent of the
under-construction Nawalpur section of the Kaligandaki corridor has
completed.
Small vehicles were being operated
along the Kaligandaki corridor from Nawalpur to other mountainous districts. (RSS)
