Nepal, Sept. 24 -- Clearing the landslide debris that blocked the Narayangadh-Muglin road section at Tuin Rivulet is expected to take about two days, officials said. Local authorities began clearing the debris early Wednesday morning after the landslide occurred around 4:30 PM Tuesday.

According to Narayan Lamichhane, chief of the Road Division Office, Bharatpur, two loaders, an excavator, and a backhoe loader have been deployed, with another excavator on the way from Damauli. About 160 meters of the road are covered with debris.

Lamichhane noted that while the risk of a major new slide is low, some rocks remain unstable, posing the risk of small to medium landslides.
