Traffic resumes on Saljhandi-Dhorpatan road section

DHORPATAN, August 4: The Saljhandi-Dhorpatan road, which was obstructed due to a landslide triggered by incessant rainfall, has resumed after 23 hours.  

Deputy Mayor of Dhorpatan Municipality, Dhan Bahadur Kayat (Kalyan) shared that traffic has resumed on the road section that was obstructed since Thursday afternoon after 23 hours. The road was obstructed due to landslides at Dogadi bridge, the border of Dhorpatan Municipality-5 and 6.

Vehicles heading towards Burtibang, Pokhara, Kathmandu and Butwal from Dhorpatan, Bobang and Phalleghar were stranded following the road obstruction. 

With the resumption of traffic on the road section, all the stranded vehicles are headed towards their destinations, added Kayat. Although efforts were made to resume the traffic on Thursday itself, it was not possible due to a large landslide. 

The traffic along the road section has resumed from this afternoon by clearing the landslide debris using a bulldozer from this morning, he mentioned.
