UDAYAPUR: Landslide occurred near Mauwasi rivulet of Udayapurgadhi Rural Municipality following the incessant rainfall obstructed the Madan Bhandari highway for two days.

According to the District Police Office, Udayapur, vehicular movement along the highway has been disrupted since Friday morning due to a landslide.
