Vehicular movement has been disrupted on several major highways and road sections across the country due to continuous rainfall, landslides, flooding, and road erosion. In a traffic update issued today morning, Nepal Police said that some roads have been completely blocked, while nighttime vehicle operations have been suspended on several vulnerable sections. As a precaution against possible flooding, all types of vehicles have been prohibited from operating between 6:00 pm and 4:00 am on the Khurkot–Nepalthok–Katunjebesi section of the BP Highway connecting Kavrepalanchok and Sindhuli. Similarly, vehicle movement has been banned from 5:00 pm to 5:00 am on the Kanti Lokpath.
