In the western region, the Kaligandaki Corridor in Baglung, Shahid Highway in Rolpa, and the Jajarkot-Dolpa Bheri Corridor Road in Rukum West have also been fully disrupted.

Authorities are actively working to clear the debris and reopen the roads. However, ongoing rainfall continues to hinder progress. Travelers have been advised to exercise caution and stay updated on road conditions
