Landslide blocks Narayanghat-Muglin road during bridge construction

Heavy landslides triggered by hill-cutting for a new bridge have left the crucial road section impassable, stranding thousands of travellers and halting repair work.

A landslide struck the Narayanghat–Muglin road near Ichchhakamana Rural Municipality-5 on Friday evening, blocking the section at Tuin Khola where hills were cut for a wide bridge.
