The Melamchi-Helambu road has been blocked, due to floods triggered by heavy rainfall last night. Regular traffic has been affected after water from the nearby river entered the road near Seemkhet, according to Melamchi area police office.

Mayor of Melamchi Municipality, Aitman Tamang shared that the road will be opened for traffic only by observing the water level.

In the last six hours, heavy rainfall has been recorded in Dhap and the surrounding areas in Sindhupalchok.
