MUGLIN: The Narayangadh-Mulgin road section which had come to a grinding halt due to rain-triggered landslides late this morning has resumed partially. The traffic along the route reopened one-way after 40 minutes of the obstruction, said Spokesperson at Chitean District Police Office, Ek Narayan Koirala. The landslides occurred at 10:20 am following the incessant rain since last night struck the highway section, forcing the suspension of vehicular movement. Meanwhile, works are underway to clear off the landslide debris. It will take a time to make the route ready for two-way traffic, the authorities said.
