NUWAKOT: Vehicular movement has been obstructed on the Galchhi-Rasuwagadhi road due to landslide with boulders.
According to District Traffic Office, Chief Jejung Karki, the dedicated double lane road has been completely halted due to a landslide with boulders falling on the road near Belkotgadhi Municipality-8, Borokhola in Nuwakot.
The road from Devighat to Galchhi via Mahadevphant has been completely blocked.
There is no alternative road around the same route, which has troubled transport vehicles to move.
The police urged the vehicles heading to Kerung via Trishuli of Nuwakot and Rasuwagadhi from Galchhi, Dhading to reach Kathmandu from Galchi and use the Tokha-Chhahare road.
Chief of Galchhi-Rasuwagadhi Road Project Office, Dhurba Kumar Shrestha said it would take time to operate the road as a ‘breaker’ has to be installed to remove the boulders that occurred along with the landslide on Wednesday night.
Human resources with heavy equipment have been mobilized since this morning to clear the landslide debris.
