DHADING: The Nagdhunga-Malekhu road section which was being partially closed for five hours daily for up-gradation works has been opened for Friday and Saturday.

The road stretch will remain opened with no mobility restriction in keeping with the inaugural session of the 11th National Congress of the CPN (UML).

It may be noted that the Nagdhunga Muglin Road Project had been working on the section since last December 10 by partially closing the road.

The project has shared the information that the road section would not be closed for two days.

Chief of the Nagdhunga-Muglin Road Project eastern section Keshab Prasad Ojha informed that after this the road up-gradation works would continue by closing the road operations during the stated time as per the previous schedule.

“We were carrying out the works on the road section by restricting the mobility for five hours from 10.30 am to 3.30 pm since December 10 in coordination with the Dhading and Kathmandu district administration offices. We took the decision not to close the road considering possible traffic pressure in view of the UML’s National Congress”, he shared.

A group of Youth Association on Wednesday had met Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport Kulman Ghising and requested that the road be opened for two days for the party’s national congress.
