KATHMANDU, MAY 30

Vehicular movement along the Narayanghat-Butwal road section has come to a complete halt after floods swept away temporary diversions at Chormara and Dumkibas in Nawalparasi (Bardaghat Susta East) late Thursday night.

According to the police, the collapse of the diversions disrupted all traffic along the vital highway.

Efforts are currently underway to build an alternative route.

The blockage has left hundreds of passengers stranded in the affected areas.
