Information Officer Deputy Superintendent of Police Bed Bahadur Paudel at the District Police Office in Nawalparasi (Bardaghat-Sustapur) reported that the highway became impassable due to the flooded under-construction road. Efforts are currently underway to remove a truck that is stuck on the blocked road.
