Heavy Rain and Landslides Block Major Roads Across 25 Districts in Nepal
Continued rainfall has hampered clearance efforts on key routes linking Kathmandu with other parts of the country.
Heavy rain and landslides have shut down major roads across 25 districts in Nepal, disrupting travel and transport across large parts of the country.
Key routes linking the capital, Kathmandu, with other regions have been blocked, and continued rainfall has hampered efforts by authorities to clear the affected roads.
Ongoing disruption
Landslides are a recurring hazard in Nepal's mountainous terrain during periods of heavy rainfall, often cutting off communities and complicating relief and clearance operations.
Authorities are continuing efforts to reopen the blocked routes, though the pace of clearance work has been slowed by the ongoing wet weather affecting the region.
