Chitwan, Nov. 10 -- A fresh landslide at Ghoptebhir in Ichchhakamana Rural Municipality-4 along the Prithvi Highway blocked traffic in both directions late on Monday night, disrupting travel to and from Kathmandu.

The same stretch had been blocked earlier on Monday after a landslide struck before dawn. Traffic resumed only at around 2pm after debris was cleared.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Chandra Bhushan Yadav, spokesperson for the Chitwan District Police Office, said the latest landslide occurred at around 11:15pm.

He said the highway had been blocked in both directions and clearance work was underway.
