All roads to Kathmandu from Hetauda closed



MAKAWANPUR: All roads leading to Kathmandu from Hetauda are closed due to flooding and landslides caused by incessant rains from Thursday to Saturday.

The affected routes include the Hetauda-Kathmandu section, the Kanti Highway, the Bhimphedi-Kulekhani-Sisneri-Dakshinkali-Kathmandu roadway, the Kulekhani-Matatirtha-Kathmandu road, and the Tribhuvan Highway.

These roads remain obstructed due to the landslides and floods that occurred on Saturday, according to the District Administration Office in Makawanpur.

Chief District Officer Tirtharaj Chiluwal stated that efforts are underway to reopen the Tribhuvan Highway by this evening. However, he noted that it will take additional time to clear the other routes.
