Gulmi, Aug 18 : The Tamghas-Ridi and Ridi-Wamitaksar road sections have been blocked for traffic due to landslides triggered by heavy rain last night.
The road sections falling under the
Madan Bhandari Highway were blocked after a landslide fell at Goudakot and
Birbas of Gulmidarbar Rural Municipality.
Similarly, Ridi-Khajryang road in
Rurukshetra rural municipality-1 under the Tamghas-Ridi road was blocked due to
a landslide falling from above the road at Ratamata, District Police Office
Gulmi said.
Likewise, the
Ridi-Rudrabeni-Wamitaksar road section has been blocked due to the increased
water flow in Dahare river in Satyavati rural municipality-6. As a result, the
long and short route vehicles going from the headquarters Tamghas and
Wamitaksar to Butwal-Kathmandu remain stranded on the road.
Chief District Officer Krishna
Prasad Sharma said although efforts are being made by the local authorities to
bring back the road into operation incessant rainfall and subsequent mudslide
is hampering it. (RSS)
