Kathmandu, December 13
THe Narayangadh-Muglin road in Chitwan district will close for vehicles for four hours every day for the next two weeks as authorities carry out landslide prevention works.
A recent meeting of the District Security Committee had decided to close the road from 11 am to 3 pm from today to December 27.
The road that connects Kathmandu and Pokhara to the East-West Highway was expanded and upgraded last year. However, landslide-prevention works were pending there.
The Chitwan District Administration Office has requested stakeholders and the public to extend support to the project. The office clarifies that emergency vehicles such as ambulance and hearse will not be restricted.
The government is spending Rs 120 million on the landslide prevention project.
