Transportation has come to a grinding halt along the Pasang Lhamu highway after torrential downpour triggered multiple landslides.

District Police Chief, Phanindra Prasai, said landslides occurred at Ramche, Mulkharka and Bharkhu areas. The continuing heavy rainfall has created difficulties in using the dozers to clear landslide debris.

More than 2 dozens of truck containers laden with freight have been stranded as police have been mobilized to provide security.
