Kulekhani-Pharping road to remain closed for two months



HETAUDA: The Matatirtha and Phakhel-Pharping road sections in the Indrasarobar rural municipality of Makwanpur are closing for vehicular traffic for a two-month period for upgrading works.

The Kulekhani-Humane-Phakhel section and the Humane-Matatirtha section, which serve as an approach road to Teku in Kathmandu, will be inaccessible until February 28, starting today, according to the Indrasarobar Rural Municipality.

To mitigate the inconvenience for commuters, alternative routes have been arranged during the closure period.

Deepak Chapagain, the information officer for the rural municipality, suggests using the Hetaunda-Bhimphedi-Kulekhani-Sisneri-Dakshinkali route and the Kulekhani-Markhu-Chitlang-Thankot route as alternatives for travel.
