DAMAULI: A section of the road has caved in at Aanbukhaireni Rural Municipality-4 in Tanahun district along the Prithvi Highway. Following the incident, the Aanbukhaireni–Muglin road is being operated as a one-way route.
According to Police Inspector Tek Prasad Subedi of the Area Police Office in Aanbukhaireni, the road caved in around 4 p.m. on Saturday due to continuous rainfall. He said that police have been deployed on both sides of the affected section to manage the safe one-way movement of vehicles.
