Alternative route of Daunne-Dumkibas road also blocked

Madhyabindu (Nawalparasi), June 23: The alternative route in the Dumkibas area of Nawalparasi (Bardaghat-Susta East) under the Butwal-Narayangadh road stretch has also been completely obstructed.

With the rain-triggered flood sweeping away the bridge in Binayi Triveni Municipality-1, Dumkibas, road transportation was managed through a diversion. After the diversion was also taken away, traffic had to be routed through an alternative road, which has now been completely blocked since this morning.

Due to the flood-fed Kharange stream in Binayi Triveni-3, the alternative route has been completely obstructed, informed Superintendent of Police at Nawalpur Police, Yadav Dhakal. With this, vehicles are not in a position to move along the Dumkibas section. Continuous rain has led to an increase in the water current, which washed away the temporary diversion placed over the Binayi River along the East-West Highway.

It may be noted that small and medium vehicles (up to 12 wheels) that were put on hold were being allowed to pass through the alternative inner route using the Hongsigate, Sardi, and Jyamire highways. SP Dhakal stated that all transportation has been brought to a complete halt.

Due to the flow of water in the rivers and streams with rain and the lack of reliable arrangements for the temporary diversion, travelers are facing difficulties.
