Transportation along the Baglung-Burtibang road section along the Mid-Hill Highway resumed from Saturday nearly after a two-week obstruction.
A massive dry landslide at Righa-7 in the district had blocked the road stretch on March 5, affecting thousands of people in the area. The landslide had also blocked the Daram stream for about an hour. The stream, however, found its way later, causing no threat to local living nearby.
One-way traffic is in operation now after authorities cleared the debris at Righa-7. “We could not clear the debris completely. The debris will be cleared with a week,” said Chief District Officer Bhagirath Pandey. The landslide had resulted in the death of an elderly in the village.
Manu Kumari Nepali, 56, was electrocuted after her house caught fire due to short circuit after the landslide swept away an electricity pole. Families of Mana Kumari Shahi and Lal Kumari Shahi have displaced.
