Baglung roads reopen after temporary repairs, easing Dashain travel

Roads in Baglung ranging from national highways to rural roads, damaged by this Asoj's floods and landslides, have reopened to traffic after temporary repairs, easing the return journey home for Dashain.

Continuous rain from Asoj 9 to 11 had blocked the Mid-Hill Highway, the Kaligandaki Corridor and the Baglung-Beni road, along with provincial and rural roads.

According to Hari Subedi, chief of the Road Division Office, Baglung, vehicles have resumed on the Maldhunga Bridge approach road, the Baglung-Beni road, and the Galkot and Nisikhola sections of the Mid-Hill Highway after repairs.

The Maldhunga Bridge approach road reopened after 15 days, and the Galkot-Tarakhola road after 17 days. Subedi said national and feeder highways under the division's jurisdiction suffered damage worth about 300 million rupees.
