Landslides triggered by recent heavy rainfall have obstructed the Baglung-Rukum East section of the Mid-Hill Highway in Nisikhola Rural Municipality-6. The landslides have caused significant disruptions, stranding travelers en route to Rukum East, Jajarkot, and other districts.
Vijay Yadav, Information Officer of the District Police Office, confirmed that efforts are underway to clear the debris and restore the road for vehicular traffic. The ongoing roadblock is impacting not only local commuters but also tourists planning to explore the scenic and culturally rich regions of Rukum East and its neighboring areas.
The Mid-Hill Highway is a crucial route for tourists visiting the popular trekking and cultural sites in the region. The current roadblock poses challenges for travelers and could affect tourism activities, including trekking and cultural tours that are popular in this part of Nepal.
Authorities are prioritizing road clearance to minimize the impact on tourism and ensure that visitors can continue to experience the region’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. Travelers are advised to stay updated on road conditions and plan their journeys accordingly.
