Chitwan. One-way traffic has been brought into operation due to a landslide at Ghoptebhir along the Prithvi Highway. One-way traffic was brought into operation from 1:40 pm on Tuesday after clearing the dry landslide that occurred continuously at Ghoptebhir of Ichhakamana Rural Municipality-4 on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Anil Thapa, Police Inspector at the District Traffic Police Office, said that it has been difficult to operate two-way traffic due to the pressure of vehicles due to the festivals. He said, “It has been difficult to operate the road in a two-way manner due to the big landslide and the workers going on leave.” He said that the equipment to clear the landslide has been kept ready and it has been managed immediately in case of minor landslides.TAG_OPEN_div_6

The two-TAG_OPEN_div_4 way road will be opened only after considering the favourability of the weather, traffic pressure and other conditions. Vehicles and passengers entering and exiting the federal capital Kathmandu via this road are troubled by landslides at different times. The police have urged the people to travel carefully as the road is open one-way but the risk remains.
