Kathmandu. Locals have objected to the Melamchi Drinking Water Project blocking the road from Sundarijal to Sindhupalchok and Nuwakot.

Local resident Sushil Simkhada informed that the road, which provides easy access to destinations like Gosainkunda and Helambu via Sundarijal, has been blocked by the project for a week, causing travel problems. The Melamchi Drinking Water Project has blocked the road in the Mahankal section of Sundarijal for construction. This motorable road is used by hundreds of people daily and is a traditionally used main route.
