Landslides block Prithvi Highway, Narayangadh-Muglin road
Landslides have already blocked major routes like the Prithvi Highway and Narayangadh-Muglin road, making travel tough and slowing down recovery work.
Authorities are urging people, especially those near rivers or streams, to stay alert as they keep a close watch on the weather and restrict highway travel to keep everyone safe.
