Narayangadh-Butwal Section Halted; Use Of Alternative Route Suggested

Nawalpur (Nawalparasi), June 19: The Narayangadh-Butwal section of the East-West Highway has been completely constructed since last night.

According to the Nawalpur Police, traffic operation has been disrupted on the highway with the flood sweeping the diversion of the Binayi River in this section and the slippery road at Daunne.

Information Officer of the Nawalpur Police, Deputy Superintendent of Police Madhu Nepal informed the flood has washed away the diversion that was placed to pass the vehicles in lack of a bridge.

Due to continuous rainfall, there has been trouble in operating vehicles on the Dumkibas-Daunne road section, he shared.

DSP Nepal has urged the vehicle operators to use alternative roads for travel until improvement of road condition in the section.

He suggested the vehicles from the east to the west should take route via Narayangadh, Mugling, Pokhara, Syangja, and Butwal and the vehicles moving west from Kathmandu should use the route through Muglin, Pokhara, Syangja, and Butwal to reach their destinations.

Likewise, vehicles traveling east from the west are asked to use Butwal, Syangja, Pokhara, and Muglin route to reach their destinations.

Likewise, light vehicle operators are requested to know the condition of the road and use the Gaindakot-Pipaldanda route.
