Landslide blocks traffic on Araniko Highway

Traffic movement along the Dhulikhel–Khawa section of the Araniko Highway has been obstructed due to a landslide.

According to the District Police Office, Kavre, continuous rainfall since last night triggered rockfall from the roadside cliffs at Tiritire Dhara in Dhulikhel-8, blocking the highway.

Vehicles traveling through the Araniko Highway have been halted at Dhulikhel and Panchkhal, police said.
