Martadi-Kolti Road Reopens After Three Months, Facilitating Apple Transport

Bajura. The Martadi–Kolti road, which had been obstructed for three months, has come into operation. With the operation of the road, apples produced in the eastern-northern part of the district are being transported easily. While the road was obstructed, apples that had to be carried on the back to the market can now be easily brought to the district headquarters by farmers using vehicles.

The road was obstructed from the second week of Asar with the onset of the monsoon, making it difficult for farmers in Pandusen and other upper areas to bring their produce to market. Due to the inaccessible road to the district headquarters from that area, some farmers had to transport apples to Nepalgunj and Dhangadhi via the Karnali corridor.
