Narayanghat-Butwal section and Kanti Highway disrupted

Nawalpur (Nawalparasi), May 4: The continuous rainfall occurring since last night has disrupted the vehicular movement along the Narayanghat-Butwal section of the East-West Highway.

Madhu Nepal, the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and Information Officer of the District Police Office, Nawalparasi Purva, shared that the road was closed as the vehicles skidded off the road following the rain in the Daunne area, which is under construction now.

DSP Nepal has urged passengers and drivers to use alternative routes since the road is completely closed.
