KATHMANDU: A dry landslide has blocked the Gokuleshwar-Khalanga road in Malikarjun Rural Municipality-8, Melkhet Dhamigada, part of the Mahakali Highway, causing a major disruption. The landslide has affected multiple locations along the highway, halting all transport services and suspending transportation into and out of the district.
As a result, night and long-distance buses traveling from Darchula to Mahendranagar and Kathmandu have been stopped, leaving many travelers stranded. Short-distance vehicles are also unable to operate, causing significant inconvenience for local commuters.
Excavators from the Division Road Office Baitadi Patan have been working to clear the landslide since the morning. Supervisor Ganesh Bohra reported that the road will only be fully accessible once the large stones blocking the way are removed.
