Persistent heavy rainfall across Nepal has triggered floods and landslides, leading to the complete closure of five major highways and disrupting traffic on other key routes.
The Nepal Police Headquarters confirmed that the following highways are currently completely blocked for all traffic:
Koshi Highway: Blocked due to landslides in Bhotkhola Rural Municipality-4 and Makalu Rural Municipality-3 of Sankhuwasabha district.
Mugling-Narayanghat Road: The critical section in Ichchakamana Rural Municipality-5 of Chitwan district is impassable.
Mid-Hill Highway: Traffic is halted in Bhume Rural Municipality-4 of Rukum East due to landslides.
Central Police Spokesperson and Deputy Inspector General of Police, Binod Ghimire, provided the update. He also reported that traffic on other major arteries is severely restricted.
"The East-West Highway in Nawalparasi East, the Kaligandaki Corridor in Baglung, and the Trishuli-Mailung Road in Rasuwa are open for one-way traffic only," DIG Ghimire informed.
The disruptions highlight the significant impact of the monsoon rains on Nepal's transportation infrastructure, stranding passengers and disrupting the supply of goods.
