NAWALPARASI, July 9: The East-West Highway has been completely blocked after a section of the road sank near Khursani Khola in Bardaghat Municipality-4, Daunne forest area.
According to the Highway Safety and Traffic Management Office in Butwal, the road caved in around 5:55 a.m. on Wednesday due to continuous rainfall that loosened the soil, disrupting traffic in both directions.
