The Beni-Jomsom-Korala road section has come to a halt since this morning following a landslide at Dana of Annapurna Rural Municipality in Myagdi.

The route is considered as the lifeline of Gandaki State. The landslide over the Rupse falls was due to incessant rain, steep gradient and loose soil, said Dana-based tourism entrepreneur Indra Singh Sherchan. District Police Office, Myagdi Police Inspector Dhruba Prasad Sharma confirmed the disruption of the highway due to the landslide. This is the sole link road to Mustang, one of the districts beyond the Himalyas. It is unsuitable for small vehicles’ movement mainly during rainy season.

The Annapurna Rural Municipality has urged commuters to remain alert as the roadway poses a high risk for the movement of vehicles mainly motorcycles and small vehicles to and from the North Myagdi and Mustang.

Under the 76-kilometers road linking Mustang to the national highway, the section stretching from Dana to Ghasa of Mustang is highly risky. Earlier, the Chamere-Ghasa section in Mustang was blocked by landslides at over six locations.
