Mugu. The Nagam-Gamgadhi road, which has been blocked due to snowfall since Thursday, has not yet been opened. The Road Division Office, Jumla, has stated that it took time to clear the snow after the excavators started clearing it.

Shiva Chandra Karki, a local of Ward No. 5 of Chhayanath Rara Municipality, said that the road was blocked due to thick snow accumulation on the road and landslides and fallen electricity poles in some places.

Karki, who is coming from Nepalgunj, informed that tourists and vehicles coming to Rara were stopped on the road due to landslides in the Jiya-Bulbule section of the Karnali Highway. It is said that the Road Division Office, Jumla, along with its employees and the Nepal Army are working to remove the road blockage. Chief District Officer Kamal Prasad Pandey said that work is underway to remove road blockages by this evening.

It is becoming difficult for vehicles to move on the roads of Bhulbhule, Siptichauur, and Satmod in the district. Passenger Shivchandra Karki informed over the telephone that 17 vehicles and passengers going to Mugu have been stuck on the road for three days due to snowfall.
