Ten years on, Dobhan-Nuwakot road still stuck in mud

Touted as option to landslide-prone Siddhababa section of Siddhartha Highway, the road is in poor shape despite repeated contracts and millions spent.

Ten years after the construction began, the Dobhan-Nuwakot road—designed as an alternative route to the landslide-prone Siddhababa section of Siddhartha Highway—remains unfinished. Despite being touted as a crucial detour that would ease long traffic jams caused by frequent landslides, especially during the monsoon, the road has yet to be blacktopped.
