Vehicular movement along the Saljhandi-Dhorpatan road, which was blocked by a landslide, has resumed from today after three days. 

This is a national priority project.

The landslide debris deposited on the road was cleared following two days of continuous efforts.

The landslide triggered by heavy rainfall on Monday evening blocked the road at Dharabot, Dhorpatan Municipality-7. 

After the road was blocked, hundreds of domestic and foreign tourists travelling to Dhorpatan Wildlife Reserve faced difficulties.

Deputy Mayor of Dhorpatan Municipality Dhan Bahadur Kayat said that tourists have now started heading towards their destinations.

He said that it took three days to clear the road due to the sheer size of the landslide in that area.

Besides, he mentioned that the locals have been facing problems in commuting due to the lack of alternative routes.

Meanwhile, the Municipality and the police have urged tourists coming to Dhorpatan to only travel after checking the weather and road conditions.
