    Government studies tunnel, viaduct options for long-term Krishnabhir solution

    The Department of Roads is studying two permanent fixes for the landslide-prone Krishnabhir stretch of the Prithvi Highway: a tunnel through the slope or a viaduct further along.

    A technical report is due in about two months, after which tendering will start; a temporary track now bypasses the damaged section.
