LAMJUNG, July 28: The Dumre-Besisahar road section in Lamjung has been disrupted again due to flood and landslide caused by incessant rain since last night. A landslide that occurred at Deurali Danda in Besisahar Municipality-1, Udipur, has obstructed the road section.

According to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) at the District Police Office, Krishna Bahadur Karki, the debris of a landslide with boulders at Riththe Bazaar has blocked the road. Vehicular movement has come to a halt due to road blockage, he said.

The incessant rain since last night caused a landslide blocking the road traffic. The road section has witnessed frequent landslides since last year. It may be noted that the flood and landslides that occurred last August had taken away the road section at Deurali Danda.

Following frequent disruptions on the road, an alternative route has been developed along the road section through a forest. Floods and landslides had also swept away the route and another alternative road was brought into operation.

Repeated disruptions of the road have hit the passengers traveling through alternative routes as well. Passengers traveling to and from Besisahar are facing troubles due to traffic disruptions.
