Sanfe-Martadi highway obstructed

Kathmandu: The Sanfe-Martadi highway has been blocked due to a landslide triggered by incessant rainfall.

The road was blocked after a landslide in the Nunepani area in Badimalika Municipality-6. Police Inspector Rabindra Singh Karki said that efforts are ongoing to clear the debris.

Currently, a team of technical manpower along with equipment is deployed from the Sanfe Road Division Office to resume the traffic. As the highway was blocked, long and short-distance vehicles and cargo vehicles were stranded.

Meanwhile, the Martadi-Kolti road connecting the northeast part of the district has remained closed to traffic for a month now. Police said the road is closed due to floods in the Bauli and Anai rivers along the route and a landslide in the Jili area of Badimalika Municipality.
