KATHMANDU: Several major highways in different parts of the country have been disrupted after continuous rainfall triggered landslides, authorities said.

According to Nepal Police Spokesperson and Deputy Inspector General Abhi Narayan Kafle, multiple road sections were completely blocked on Monday night due to landslides and road collapses.

The affected routes include the road section at Salakpur in Rong Rural Municipality–6 of Ilam, Chaukidanda in Namobuddha Municipality–6 and Ghumaune in Roshi Rural Municipality–7 of Kavre, as well as the Chaarsayabesi section of the BP Highway, all of which remain fully obstructed.
