Kathmandu. The Prithvi Highway has been obstructed for the past 14 days after the flood in the Trishuli River via Bhotekoshi eroded the lower part of the road along the river. On August 30, a 100-meter road collapsed at Krishnabhir of Dhading under the highway, which is considered the main lifeline to Kathmandu.

The work of opening a new track above the place where it has sunk in Krishna Bhir and preparing it for easy movement of vehicles is going on at this time. The work of cutting the hill and connecting the 250-meter track on both sides has been completed.

It has to be rolled and adjusted. should be done in layer- layer. cannot be done in the same layer. “So it may take 3-4 days,” she said. The target is to start the traffic by the end of this month. ’

She said that the new track had to be opened as the Trishuli had eroded the base of the road and collapsed. She believes that the newly opened track will not disturb the traffic. “Earlier, the landslide was prevented by combining concrete and plants in Krishnabhir using bio-engineering. It was long-lasting. “Now, we have not thought of the floods and the part of the road has been cut and the top of the road has also collapsed. Now we have constructed a road from the top of . Let’s hope that there is not much disturbance. ’

The transportation of essential goods has been affected after the landslide at Krishnabhir. This is the reason why the problem of cooking gas is now aggravated in the market.
