Kathmandu, September 2: The main road section connecting to the Kerung border point in Tibet (Xizang), China’s southwestern autonomous region, has resumed operation.
Traffic resumed at 10 a.m. today after round-the-clock repair and reconstruction work was carried out on the section of National Highway 216 that had been damaged by floods and landslides.
With the road reopened, relief supplies, rescue equipment and teams deployed for rescue operations have begun entering the main landslide-affected areas.
The reopening of the road, which had remained blocked for several days, is expected to facilitate and accelerate relief, rescue and rehabilitation efforts in the landslide-affected areas.
