Kaligandaki Corridor Road in Gulmi reopens after landslide clearance

The Kaligandaki Corridor road section in Gulmi has resumed operation after being blocked by a landslide. The blockage occurred due to falling debris and rocks accumulating directly on the highway. Deputy Superintendent of Police Virendra Beer Bishwakarma, speaking from the District Police Office in Gulmi, confirmed that traffic flow has now been fully restored along the route. Clearing operations were carried out using a dozer to clear the accumulated earth and boulders. This effort was organized through coordination between the Road Division Office, the local Kaligandaki Rural Municipality, and deployed security personnel. Security forces remained stationed in the affected area following the initial obstruction to manage safety and support the clearance work under the direction of local officers. Police Assistant Inspector Baburam Shrestha led personnel mobilized from the Purtighat Police Post to the site after the road closure was reported. With the heavy debris successfully removed, normal movement along the corridor has recommenced for travellers and transport vehicles operating through the district.
