Thini, Myagdi, Dec 31 : The Beni-Jomsom road that connects the trans-Himalayan district of Mustang with the rest of the country has been opened for traffic after four days of disruption.
The road was blocked after a dry landslide occurred at Guithebhir of Annapurna rural municipality-3 in Myagdi district. The road was obstructed by the landslide debris deposited on the highway since December 27.
The 76-kilometre-long road was opened for traffic after the landslide debris was cleared on Monday evening.
Vehicles bound to Jomsom from Beni and vice-versa were stranded after the obstruction of the road by landslip.
