Narayanghat-Muglin road section obstructed

Bharatpur: The Narayanghat-Muglin road section was obstructed from this morning after a truck turned turtle near Tuyinkhola in Ichhakamana Rural Municipality-5, Chitwan.

The truck (Madhes Province 03-001 Kha 9817) skidded off the road, completely obstructing the vehicular movement along the highway. The truck was on its way to the Capital City from Birgunj carrying coal.

Spokesperson of the District Police Office and Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in Chitwan, Rabindra Khanal, said that efforts are ongoing to shift the truck from its existing position.

Hundreds of vehicles have been stranded on the site, which is some two kilometres south of Muglin bazaar, after the obstruction.
