JUMLA, Sept 8: The Karnali highway has been blocked by landslides triggered by last night's incessant rainfall.


As a result, the highway remains completely blocked for traffic due to the mud-slip that took place at Ismod and Gaganekhola located in Shubh Kalika rural municipality-1 of Kalikot under the Surkhet-Jumla road of the highway.
