Nagdhunga-Muglin Road Section Partially Operates Amidst Landslide Risk

Summary

Vehicular movement on the Nagdhunga-Muglin road section is continuing one-way amid intermittent landslides at Ghoptesir. Authorities have kept the road open during the festival rush while using pits to trap debris and prevent damage to vehicles.

Key Points
  • Vehicular movement on the Nagdhunga-Muglin road section is operating one-way due to intermittent landslides at Ghoptesir.
  • The road has not been fully closed because of heavy festival-season pressure from passengers and vehicles.
  • Engineers have created pits beside the road to trap falling soil and stones and reduce damage to vehicles.
