The Pokhara- Baglung Highway, which was obstructed from Wednesday noon, has resumed shortly and so has the Maldhunga- Beni road stretch that was obstructed from Wednesday morning.
Vehicular movement resumed after an agreement among the relatives of the persons injured in the bus accident that took place at Dhikur Pokhari of Kaski four days back, the staff and the administration of Dhaulagiri Bus Entrepreneurs Committee was forged.
The relatives of the deceased will get compensation for their loss and the injured will get reimbursements of the treatment expenses, as per the agreement.
The vehicles en route to Myagdi and Mustang from Kathmandu and Pokhara that were left stranded due to the obstruction have already headed for their destinations following the agreement.
One person had died and fourteen others were injured in the bus accident that took place four days ago.
From Pokhara, it is easy to get to Baglung. Considering the transport, the way from Pokhara could take between 2 and 5 hours. With a local bus, the road takes about 3-4 hours, depending on the hour and number of stops. The price is 500 Roupies. It is also possible to take a taxi for about 3000 Roupies. It’s easier to find a taxi when exiting Pokhara. It is usually very complicated to find a taxi in Baglung. The highway is called Gupi Shertsan Highway. The distance between the two towns is 72 km. The same road connects other 3 district capitals (Kushma, Beni, Jomson)
Leaving Pokhara, the road goes near to the famous Sarankhot mountain, then continues through Naudhanda, Nayapul (place where the trekking for the Annapurna base camp begins). Kushma, Baglung. We’ll see the river Modi on the way. It eventually meets Kalighandaki near Kushma, and this confluence creates a sacred place for the Hindu.
