why is prithvi highway blocked now?
The Prithvi Highway is currently blocked due to multiple landslides at 11 different locations, which is causing partial blockage. Clearance work is ongoing to reopen the highway fully. This situation is part of a larger problem affecting key highways in Bagmati, Gandaki, and Karnali provinces, where floods and landslides have disrupted traffic. Nearby roads like the Narayangadh-Muglin road have reopened, but the Prithvi Highway remains partly blocked as of the latest reports.
