BENI : Vehicular movement has resumed on the Beni-Jomsom road since Thursday evening. The road linking the trans-Himalayan district Mustang via the northern belt of Myagdi district has opened 18 days after it was disrupted due to landslides and flooding at multiple places.

Traffic on this 76 kilometres long roadway had halted after the landslide at Rupse and Kavre of Annapurna rural municipality-3 in Myagdi district and at Ghoptebhir on the border with Mustang had washed away sections of the road.

Chief of the Beni-Jomsom-Korala Road Project, Ashok Tiwari, said that traffic has resumed after removing the landslide debris deposited on the road, construction of diversion and new roads in some places.
