Kalikot. The Karnali Highway has been blocked due to landslides. The Kalikot-Gagane Khola to Humm road section of the Surkhet-Jumla road has been blocked since this morning.
The highway has been blocked due to landslides in many places from Gagane Khola to Humm due to rain since Sunday evening. Kalikot Police Chief Deputy Superintendent of Police Tek Bahadur Rawat said that the landslide in Gagane Khola has been blocked due to heavy rain since last night. “There is no condition for vehicles to ply, JCVs have been sent to remove the landslide in Gagane Khola by removing the stones that have fallen at the Khulalu Zero Point where the Karnali Corridor begins,” he said.
Police Rawat informed that it is difficult to work because of the landslides. “The Road Division Jumla has also sent a machine,” he said. “The machine has reached the site of the major landslide, clearing away minor landslides. Once the water stops flowing, the one-way road will be operational by noon.”
Police have said that vehicles going to Surkhet from Kalikot, Jumla, Mugu, Bajura, Humla and upwards have been stopped due to the road blockage.
