Gaurifanta-Paliya road remains closed for four days following gas tanker accident

Dhangadhi: The Gaurifanta-Paliya Road, a key border crossing between Nepal and India, has remained closed for the past four days due to a gas tanker accident in India’s Dudhuwa National Park area.

According to Indian security sources, the road has been blocked since Thursday, and all vehicular movement has been halted following the incident. Vehicles bound for Gaurifanta are being diverted via Chandchowki as efforts continue to remove the overturned tanker from the roadside.

The Chandchowki route is currently being used for travelers heading to India from Dhangadhi through the Gaurifanta crossing.
