Landslides triggered by incessant rain have obstructed 13 major highways since mid-June.

The Department of Roads (DoR) shared that one-way traffic has been resumed in 73 of the 132 roads obstructed by the disasters.

Vehicular movement has come to a halt along the Jamunaha-Nepalgunj-Kohalpur-Surkhet-Khulalu-Hilsa road section along the Karnali Highway in Dailekh district. Likewise, the Thori-Rasuwagadhi road of Rasuwa which has been disrupted since July 11 is yet to reopen. An alternative road has been arranged rather than maintaining the regular road.

Likewise, vehicular movement has been disrupted in several areas, including Rambazaar and Argale along the Dumre-Beshishahar-Chame road. The Liping bridge along the Araniko Highway has also been obstructed.

The Tanahun-based Dumre-Beshishahar-Chame road section that has been obstructed since last month has not resumed. The Timang-Chhahara road along the same stretch has also been disrupted.

The Department of Roads has put its efforts to resume at least one-way traffic operations on several federal roads that remained disrupted due to rain-triggered disasters.
