The road from Devighat to Galchhi via Mahadev Phant has been completely blocked. There is no alternative road around this route, which has created troubles in the movement of transport vehicles. The police urged the vehicles heading to Kerung via Trishuli of Nuwakot and Rasuwagadhi from Galchhi, Dhading to reach Kathmandu from Galchhi and use the Tokha-Chhahare road.
Chief of Galchhi-Rasuwagadhi Road Project Office, Dhruba Kumar Shrestha said it would take time to bring the road back into operation as a 'breaker' has to be installed to remove the boulders.
Human resources with heavy equipment have been mobilized since this morning to clear the landslide debris, officials said.
