Daunne stretch of Butwal-Narayanghat road becomes a mud trap again

Temporary diversion swept away. Tuesday’s rain has turned the road into muck, and left vehicles and travellers stuck along a 50-km length of highway.

A relentless overnight rain turned the notorious Daunne stretch of Butwal-Narayanghat section of the East-West Highway into a muddy road, trapping hundreds of vehicles that caused kilometres long traffic jams. There was a traffic jam stretching about 50 kilometres, from Bhutaha in Nawalparasi West to Danda in Nawalparasi East by Wednesday evening.
