March 7: The Narayagadh-Muglin road will remain closed for landslide prevention work for a week starting from today (March 7), according to the state-owned national news agency RSS. The road section will be closed for traffic from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm every day, until March 13.    
Issuing a notice, the Narayangadh-Muglin road project has said that the two-way traffic will be stopped on the road so as to complete the remaining work of landslide prevention at Charkilo of the road section. All vehicles except those related to essential and emergency service will be stopped, RSS quoted the project’s engineer Sabita Ranabhat as saying.    
Twenty-five percent of the work of landslide prevention on the road section is yet to be completed in the area affected due to the monsoon rains last year.    
Accordingly, vehicles coming from Narayangadh will be stopped at Jalbire and those from Muglin at Shanti bazaar, RSS further reported. Travelers have been meanwhile urged to use alternative route during the period.
