The Road Division Office Okhaldhunga tried to use an excavator to open the road but it was not possible. Due to this, the vehicles heading for Solukhumbu from outside the district have been stopped for three days at Thadhe, Todke, Vipalat and other places of Okhaldhunga.
As a result, hundreds of passengers remain stranded on their way to home from various places outside the districts. Passengers have complained that they have difficulty in getting food to eat in the area.
