Prithvi Highway reopens after Ghoptebhir landslide clearance; traffic congestion persists

Kathmandu, November 10 Traffic has resumed on the blocked Prithvi Highway after a dry landslide at Ghoptebhir was cleared. The highway has been reopened to two-way traffic since 2 pm after the landslide that occurred this morning at Ghoptebhir in Ichchhakamana Rural Municipality-4, along the Prithvi Highway, was cleared. Dry landslides had been occurring repeatedly over the past few days along this section of the Nagdhunga-Muglin road project.

The frequency of landslides increased from Sunday night. Passengers travelling along the highway on Monday faced difficulties for much of the day due to landslides. Travellers faced similar difficulties again on Tuesday.

Although the road is now operational, heavy traffic has caused a long traffic jam along the highway. All photos: Santa Gaha Magar/Onlinekhabar The post Prithvi Highway reopens after Ghoptebhir landslide clearance; traffic congestion persists appeared first on OnlineKhabar English News .
