This morning, the Prithvi Highway faced a significant obstruction near Mauwakhola of Ichchhakamana Rural Municipality-3, as a landslip occurred due to ongoing rains. Nirala Bhandari, Police Inspector at the Area Police Office in Muglin, reported that the Road Division Office is actively using excavators to clear the debris. However, continuous rain has intensified mudslides, complicating clearance efforts and stranding vehicles on this crucial route.
The Prithvi Highway, essential for travel between Kathmandu and Pokhara, experiences frequent disruptions during the monsoon season. These obstructions not only affect local commuters but also disrupt travel plans for tourists exploring Nepal’s diverse landscapes.
Travelers intending to use this route are advised to seek alternative methods until the highway is cleared and deemed safe for travel. Authorities are working diligently to restore normal traffic flow, prioritizing safety amidst challenging weather conditions.
Tourists planning to navigate through this region are urged to monitor updates from local authorities and consider alternative routes to avoid delays and ensure a smooth travel experience.
