KATHMANDU: Continuous rain, floods, and landslides have disrupted traffic on several major highways across the country, with some road sections remaining blocked or operating one-way, according to the Nepal Police road update issued as of 2:00 PM Saturday.

The Mechi Highway in Ilam has remained completely blocked since July 7, while the Mid-Hill Highway in Bhojpur and the Kaligandaki Corridor in Gulmi are operating one-way. The Saljhandi-Dhorpatan road section in Baglung has been blocked by a landslide since July 10.

Meanwhile, traffic on the BP Highway remains restricted as a precaution against possible flooding, while the Kanti Lokpath in Makwanpur and the Karnali Highway in Kalikot have resumed full operation after earlier landslide disruptions.
