Kathmandu, October 12

The Prithvi Highway will be closed from 11 pm today until 5 am tomorrow to facilitate road repair work in the Galaundi area of the highway in Dhading. Laxmi Pandey (Gautam), the Chief District Officer of Dhading, announced today that traffic on the highway has been closed to repair the road that was damaged due to the Trishuli River erosion in the Galaundi area of Gajuri Rural Municipality-5. The road was blocked when the highway collapsed on October 9. After efforts throughout the day on October 10, the highway was reopened, but it is going to be closed tonight for further maintenance.
