Following continuous rainfall, a landslide occurred near Khursane Khola in Daunne on Tuesday night, leading to a complete blockage of the Butwal–Narayangadh road section along the East-West Highway. According to the Narayangadh–Butwal Road Project Office, vehicular movement has been entirely halted due to the landslide.
