MYAGDI, March 16: The Beni-Jomsom road that connects Mustang to the national highway is to remain closed for six hours a day beginning Friday.

According to the District Administration Office, Myagdi, the decision to stop the traffic on the road is for carrying out landslide preventive works along the Rupse Falls area in Annapurna Rural Municipality-3, for the construction of a Bailey bridge and for the road widening works.

Myagdi’s Assistant Chief District Officer Dhirendra Raj Pant said traffic won’t be allowed along the Rupse section from 6:00AM to 9:00AM and from 1:00PM to 4:00PM from March 17 to 28. 

However, the road won't be closed for three days from March 20 to 23 in view of the Chaite Dashain festival as a large number of devotees are expected to visit Kagbeni to observe the festival.

The administration is to come up with additional provisions for emergency vehicles and ambulances.
