Heavy Rainfall Completely Blocks Daunne Road Section in East Nawalparasi

March 20, East Nawalparasi – The Daunne road section in East Nawalparasi has been completely blocked due to heavy rainfall.

The road, under repair near 64 Modi at Daunne Bazaar, Ward No. 2 of Binayi Triveni Rural Municipality, became muddy and slippery from the rainfall, causing the highway to be obstructed.

Since Friday, traffic movement on the Daunne section has been affected. According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Yubaraj Khadka from East Nawalparasi District Police Office, the highway in both directions has been blocked from early morning due to continuous rainfall.

Nighttime Ban on Heavy Cargo Vehicles Imposed

A ban has been imposed on operating heavy cargo vehicles at night along the Narayanghat–Butwal road section.

According to a notice from the Narayanghat-Butwal Road Project Office, from Friday until March 22, heavy cargo vehicles will be prohibited from operating between 7 PM and 5 AM on the Dumkibas-Daunne-Bardaghat stretch.

The office has arranged for the heavy cargo vehicles to halt at Triveni Chowk and Dumkibas Bazaar areas heading towards Bardaghat.

Passenger vehicles and emergency service vehicles will be allowed to operate based on priority.

This decision was made because the ongoing road widening and repair work on the Daunne road section has resulted in slippery roads and blockage of heavy cargo vehicles during the rains, the road project office stated.

Following the blockage of the Daunne road section, vehicles coming from the west were diverted towards the Siddhartha Highway. However, today that highway was also blocked in Siddhababa area due to a landslide.
