"It is raining continuously and works for opening the road by removing landslide debris have been hampered by the incessant rain," he said. The landslide has washed away more than 50 meters of the road.


With the disruption of the road, vehicles coming from the east have been diverted towards Bardibas via Gaighat and Lahan while the vehicles coming from the west have been diverted from Katari via Mirchaiya of Siraha.
