Prithvi Highway’s Chhirkane-Deurali road section to remain closed



Tanahun, Nov 14: The Chhirkane-Deurali road stretch, part of the under-construction Muglin-Pokhara section, will be closed for four and a half hours daily.

The construction work is being conducted by closing the road section from Byas Municipality-12, Chhirkane to Deurali in two phases.

Project engineer Bishnu Prasad Pandey informed that the road section under the Muglin Pokhara Road Project (Eastern Section) will be completely halted in two phases from November 18 to December 8 to expedite the construction work.

Currently, 68 percent progress has been made in the eastern section of the Muglin-Pokhara road.
