Kathmandu, June 18
The Besisahar-Chame road has been blocked again due to landslides. The road had come into operation since Friday afternoon but was blocked again this morning due to a landslide on the Kharkhare Bhir in Besisahar Municipality-6.
As a result, passengers have been stranded on the road since this morning, said Inspector and Information Officer for the District Police Office, Lamjung, Jagdish Regmi.
The landslide was triggered by rainfall. It has become a regular affair, as landslides occur even with light rainfall. A landslide has also blocked the road near Belauti Bisna of the same ward.
The Dumre-Besisahar-Chame Road Project Office Lamjung has started clearing the landslide debris. But it is uncertain how long it will take, police said. The Besisahar-Chame road is the only road connecting Lamjung and Manang districts.
