The Narayangadh-Butwal road section along the East-West Highway has been obstructed after a landslide swept away some sections of the road this morning.

The landslide triggered by heavy rain washed away some sections of the road at Bardhaghat-4 nearby Daunne, police said.

The goods-carrying truck has also been buried by landslide debris to some extent, said DSP Panta, adding that efforts are underway to remove the truck as well as the debris as the rain has stopped.
