The Prithvi Highway has been obstructed due to a landslide at Mauwakhola of Ichchhakamana Rural Municipality-3 on Thursday.

Nirala Bhandari, police inspector at the Area Police Office, Muglin, informed that an excavator is being used to remove the debris.

However, it would take time because continuous rainfall and mudslide is hampering the work. With the obstruction, the vehicles are stranded on the road.

As the rainy season began during the upgrading of the road, it has caused frequent mudslides, thereby obstructing the traffic on one of the busiest highways in the country.
