NAWALPARASI:- The Butwal-Narayangadh road section, which remained blocked for traffic since Friday, is yet to come under full operation. 

Transport services have been affected after the road became slippery and muddy in the Daunne section located in Binayi Tribeni Rural Municipality-2 of Nawalparasi (Bardaghat Susta East) along the East-West Highway, said Yubaraj Khadka, Superintendent of Police at the District Police Office, Nawalparasi.

Vehicles going from east to west have not been able to operate due to slippery uphill road, while vehicles going from west to east are operating to some extent, he said.

As a result, travelers have been stranded on the road for three days due to the road blockage. Long-distance passenger and freight vehicles have not been able to reach their destinations due to obstructions on the road since the rainfall last Friday.

Meanwhile, the Narayangadh-Butwal Road Project has stated that efforts are being made to repair and improve the blocked road. The operation of large freight vehicles remain prohibited from 7:00 pm to 5:00 am until today. (RSS)
