BAGLUNG, JULY 19

Vehicular movement in the Kaligandaki corridor, which was blocked for the past two weeks has resumed from today.

Traffic along the road was obstructed since July 5 following a landslide at Dablyang in Baglung Municipality-10. A section of the road was swept away in the landslide, completely halting the vehicular movement in Kaligandaki corridor, one of the national pride projects.

The District Police Office, Baglung, stated that the office of the Kaligandaki corridor constructed a gabion to repair the damaged road section.

Vehicles to and from Baglung, Butwal, Bharahawa and Muktinath had remained off the road for two weeks due to the obstructions.
