DHULIKHEL (KAVREPALANCHOWK), Oct 6: The Bhakunde-Kanpur-Kottemaal-Pokhari Narayansthan-Mechhepaua road has been opened for traffic from today. The road remained blocked due to damages caused by incessant rain for the past seven days. 


Chairman of Temal Rural Municipality, Dalman Thokar, said that passenger buses will be operated on the road from today. Due to the disruption of rural roads, traffic between villages and cities was cut off, and transportation of materials including health care and foodstuff had become a problem. 


He said that life in the Rural Municipality will return to normalcy after passenger buses start operating from today.
