Vehicular movement along the Nagdhunga-Muglin road section continues on a restricted basis following intermittent debris falling from the slopes above. Soil and stones have been sliding down periodically in the Ghoptesir sector, posing ongoing safety risks to motorists traveling through the corridor. Small cars and light vehicles are currently permitted to travel in both directions, while heavier transport options must rely on single-lane alternating passage. Officials decided against a full closure to protect holiday travelers from intense logistical hardships during the peak festival travel period. Engineer Ashok Devkota, representing the West Section of the Nagdhunga-Muglin Road Project, explained that shutting down the route completely would cause severe difficulties for citizens returning home. The ongoing festival movement has placed exceptionally heavy pressure on the transportation network. Project representatives indicated that comprehensive debris removal operations and permanent stabilization efforts will begin once traffic volumes decline. Full two-way operations will be restored across the entire affected sector after the cleanup work concludes.
