GULMI: The Kaligandaki Corridor has been completely blocked since Wednesday night after a dry landslide carrying rocks fell onto the road at Rakse in Kaligandaki Rural Municipality-2, Gulmi.
According to the District Police Office, a police team led by Police Assistant Inspector Baburam Shrestha from Purtighat Police Post has been deployed to the landslide site.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Birendra Bir Bishwakarma said efforts were underway to clear the debris from the road in coordination with the local rural municipality and police personnel.
The obstruction has stranded vehicles and passengers travelling from Gulmi towards Palpa, Butwal, Baglung, Parbat, Myagdi and Pokhara since Wednesday night, disrupting transportation during the Tihar festival period.
Since its operation, the Kaligandaki Corridor has emerged as one of the busiest roads in the district, witnessing a significant increase in vehicular movement in recent years.
