Baglung, Dec 4: The snowfall taking place from Monday morning has disrupted the vehicular movement along the Baglung-Rukum Purba section of the Mid-Hill Highway, Nepal.
The local residents said that the snowfall has occurred at Nisikhola in Baglung and Patihalne of Rukum Purba.
Til Bahadur Ghartimagar, a local resident, said that vehicles have remained completely off the road due to continuous snowfall.
The area has witnessed rainfall since Sunday evening and snowfall since early morning today.
According to Ghartimagar, the cattle taken for the grazing land have been taken to the lowlands due to snowfall there. “Snowfall has not stopped. Travelling during this time is very tough. Snowfall is likely until today night,” he added.
The area of the Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve is covered with snow and the normal life of the people there is badly affected. The Dhorpatan valley and the highlands are covered with snow, hotelier Ganga Bahadur Bhandari said.
However, the farmers there are elated with the snowfall coupled with rain, which occurred after a long gap as they are hopeful of better yield of the winter crops.
