Lamjung, June 30: The local authority here has closed vehicular movement along the Besisahar-Chame and the Mid-Hill Highway at night, effective from today.
The District Security Committee meeting held on Monday decided to close the roadways for at least two weeks so that loss to be triggered by monsoon-related disasters would be minimized.
