Kathmandu : Muglin-Narayangadh road section has been disrupted again. The road was blocked after another landslide occurred near the Tuin River in Ichchhakamana Rural Municipality of Chitwan in the wee hours of Saturday.

The road which was closed due to the landslide at this place on Thursday afternoon was opened from 5 pm yesterday. The Area Police Office, Muglin said that the road was blocked due to a landslide at 3:30 am this morning without allowing the vehicles stranded for 28 hours to go to their destination.
