Nawalparasi East, May 4 -- Rainfall has disrupted traffic along various sections on multiple major highways across central and western Nepal, including Kantilok Path, Araniko Highway, the Butwal-Narayanghat section of the East-West Highway, and the Kaligandaki Corridor.

In Makawanpur, the Kantilok Path has remained blocked since Saturday morning after the rain-swollen Bagmati River swept away a diversion on the Lalitpur side of the Bagmati bridge.

The bridge connects ward 8 of Bhimphedi Rural Municipality in Makwanpur with ward 2 of Bagmati Rural Municipality in Lalitpur. Deputy Superintendent of Police Shyamu Aryal said the diversion had previously been damaged in floods in September last year and was only recently restored.
