Beni-Jomsom highway operation to resume after two days

MYAGDI: The Beni-Jomsom road that connects Mustang district to the national road network is likely to remain closed for two more days. 

A meeting of the stakeholders held on Monday in the District Administration Office, Mustang, took a decision to close the road section till 1st April to carry out the road expansion and upgradation jobs by the use of explosive substances. The road section has been closed since 27th March. 

The road section particularly in the Kakrebihar and Kaikhukhola area along the border point of Myagdi and Mustang districts is closed for vehicular movement to advance the maintenance works. Vehicular movement is unhindered in other sections and transport entrepreneurs have fixed travel-related problems. 

An administrative official of Beni-Jomsom-Korola Road Project Narayan Poudel said that the meeting presided over by Chief District Officer Hira Devi Poudel decided to close the road section until 1st April to complete the ongoing road expansion drive.  

Prior to this, CDO Poudel, security officials and stakeholders had made the onsite visits to access the progress of the project.
