Gulmi: The Kaligandaki Corridor has been blocked due to landslides triggered by incessant rains since Wednesday night. The road has been completely blocked since last night after a landslide occurred at Rakse in Kaligandaki Rural Municipality-2 under the Gulmi section of the Kaligandaki Corridor, said Ganga Bahadur Saru, Information Officer of the District Police Office, Gulmi.
According to National News Agency Nepal, a police team has been deployed from the Purtighat police post to the landslide site this morning to clear the road. However, continuous rainfall is hampering efforts to clear the landslide debris piled up on the road.
As a result, vehicles traveling to Palpa and Butwal via Parbat, Baglung, and Ridi have remained stuck. Information Officer Saru mentioned that local construction company Kalika Construction has kept machines ready to clear the road for traffic once the rain stops.
