RAMPUR, June 30: The Kaligandaki corridor road has been obstructed due to incessant rain since last night. The road was blocked after a landslide occurred near the Sardikhola bridge on the border of Rambha Rural Municipality-2 and 3 of Palpa under the corridor.
As the road is obstructed, passengers and vehicles traveling through the corridor are stuck on the road. The vehicular movement has been obstructed on this road section since 5 AM today.
