CHITWAN: Vehicular movement obstructed for 34 hours along Narayangadh-Muglin road section following landslides has resumed from Saturday evening.

The section of the road was blocked a second time on Friday itself. The first landslide near Kalikhola at 8:00 am  was followed by another at 1:00 pm, resulting in complete closure for the vehicular movement along the road section.

After clearing the mudslide debris, vehicles started to ply on the road from 6:30 pm Saturday, said Shiva Khanal, an engineer at Narayangadh-Muglin Road Project.

It took 34 hours for officials to clear the landslide debris with  four bulldozers and an excavator.
