Nagdhunga-Muglin Road Section Partially Operates Amidst Landslide Risk

Kathmandu. Despite landslides occurring intermittently from above at Ghoptesir on the Nagdhunga-Muglin road section, vehicular movement has been operated on a one-way basis. It has been informed that traffic has been kept operational with caution, without completely closing the road, due to the excessive pressure of vehicles and passengers on the road during the festival season.

According to Engineer Ashok Devkota of the Nagdhunga-Muglin Road Project (West Section), soil and stones are intermittently falling from above in the Ghoptesir area. To prevent damage to moving vehicles from landslides, arrangements have been made to control the debris by creating pits on the side of the road.
