Traffic
resumes on Prithvi Highway
Post Report
CHITWAN, April 27- Traffic resumed on the
Prithvi Highway at 11 AM, Friday, after a 17-hour interruption following landslides in
three different sites triggered by massive rainfalls on Wednesday and Thursday.
Vehicles to and from the capital were stranded
along the highway when the early monsoon rains brought about landslides at a place 3 kms
east of Mugling, Fishling and Krishnabhir.
Vehicular transport continued when heavy
equipment from the Divisional Road Office at Bharatpur were able to remove the mounds of
landmass, an engineer at the Divisional Office, Tulasi Prasad Sitaula, said.
The removal of the heaps of fresh landslides was
delayed due to the vehicular traffic jam, which extended to several kilometres.
