Dhorpatan: A section of the Kaligandaki corridor highway has been blocked due to a landslide triggered by incessant rains at Dablyang of Baglung Municipality-10.

The main corridor roadway was closed for a week. 

Suman Niure, the head of the district traffic office, informed that the traffic in the area was blocked due to the landslide on Tuesday night and the vehicles have been advised to use the auxiliary road there.
