A section of Prithvi Highway has been swept away by flood in Rorang Rural Municipality, Dhading following heavy rainfall on Monday.

"The bridge connecting Chitwan with Dhading and a section of the road towards Dhading have been swept away bringing transportation and public movement to a grinding halt," said Gurung.
