Baglung, July 22 — Due to incessant rainfall, a landslide has obstructed the Baglung section of the Kaligandaki Corridor, a major infrastructure project listed under Nepal’s National Pride Projects.
According to Basanta Pandey, the spokesperson for the District Police Office, Baglung, a massive landslide occurred late last night at Dablyang, Ward No. 10 of Baglung Municipality, causing a complete halt to vehicular movement since early morning.
