Police have imposed a night-time restriction on vehicular movement along the under-construction Kaligandaki corridor road citing safety reasons.

According to Bhubaneshwar Tiwari, chief of the district police office, the step was taken given the high risks of accidents in the under-construction road section.

Two accidents occurred at night after the construction of the road started, and medical help could not reach them due to the absence of telecommunication.

The corridor road will open for 24 hours only after the completion of road construction, said Tiwari.
