KATHMANDU – The vehicular movement along the Narayanghat-Butwal road section is now fully obstructed after the floods collapsed diversions at Chormara and Dumkibas areas in Nawalparasi (Bardhaghat Susta Purba) last night.

Superintendent of Police (SP) Yadav Dhakal said that the diversions made at Chormara and Dumkibas for alternative routes collapsed after the floods, causing a complete halt to the vehicular movement along the route.

Currently, efforts are ongoing to construct an alternative route. As the highway is blocked since last night, hundreds of passengers have been stranded off the road at Chormara and Dumkibas areas.
