• Motorists instructed to use Tokha-Chhahare road

TRISHULI: Galchhi-Rasuwagadhi road section has been disrupted as dry landslide is taking place at Lamasoti in Belkotgadhi Municipality-7, Nuwakot district. With the landslide, vehicular movement to and from Nuwakot and Rasuwa districts is fully obstructed, Chief of District Traffic Police Office, Guna Nidhi Khakurel said. As there is no other alternative route to travel for four-wheelers, Khakurel has urged the motorists to travel along the Tokha-Chhahare road section. The dry landslide has completely obstructed some 200 metres of road. The Office of Galchhi-Rasuwagadhi Road Project and Division Road Office, Nuwakot, are working to resume vehicular movement by clearing the debris but clearing the debris is a challenging job as the landslide is still taking place, Spokesperson of Galchhi-Rasuwagadhi Road Project Santaram Pandey said. The landslide has also caused damage to power transmission lines and some electric pylons in the affected areas. READ ALSO:
