Road Repair Underway After Landslide on Prithvi Highway in Dhading

Dhading. Repair work is being intensified to open the road that collapsed due to erosion of the Trishuli River in Galaundi, Gajuri Rural Municipality-5, along the Prithvi Highway. The road, which had collapsed on the river side, is being opened by digging the embankment and creating an alternative track, i.e., 'back cutting'. The highway was obstructed after the road collapsed on the evening of Friday, October 9. It was reported that about 100 meters of the road had cracked and about 20 meters had collapsed. Due to the risk of further road collapse and landslides, traffic was stopped to prevent possible accidents.
