Kathmandu, Aug 5: Continuous monsoon rains have triggered landslides and floods across Nepal, disrupting traffic on several key highways and leaving some major road links completely blocked, according to Nepal Police. As of 6:20 am on Wednesday, the Arniko Highway in Sindhupalchok, the Beni, Jomsom road in Mustang, and the Bheri Corridor in Rukum West remained fully closed due to landslides, police said. The Arniko Highway, Nepal’s main road link to the Chinese border through Kodari, has been blocked after landslides struck the Char Kilo and Kodari sections in Bhotekoshi Rural Municipality. Authorities have also imposed nighttime traffic restrictions on two major highways because of the heightened risk of landslides during heavy rainfall. Nepal experiences frequent landslides and flash floods during the annual monsoon season, often disrupting transportation, isolating mountain communities, and damaging critical infrastructure.
