Lamjung, June 30: The Lamjung District Administration has imposed a night-time ban on vehicular movement along the Besisahar-Chame Road and a section of the Mid-Hill Highway for at least two weeks, effective from Tuesday, citing increased risks from monsoon-related disasters.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the District Security Committee on Monday as a precautionary measure following forecasts of heavy rainfall that could trigger landslides and floods.

According to Assistant Chief District Officer Thamman Singh Gautam, the Besisahar-Chame Road will remain closed to vehicles daily from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am, while traffic on the Mid-Hill Highway section will be suspended from 7:00 pm to 5:00 am.
