Maoists bombed the bridge of Holeri Khola on the Prithivi Highway in Tanahu district, western Nepal, on Tuesday night.
Chief District Officer of Tanahu, Bhuvan Aryal, informed Nepalnews that the bridge has been partially destroyed in the incident.
He further said security forces have been mobilised in the area to inspect the site and study the feasibility of making diversion or repair of the bridge.
“Only light vehicles are passing through the bridge, heavy vehicles will not be able to operate till the bridge is repaired,” he added.
According to locals, the vehicular movement in the area has come to a halt following the blockade announced by the Maoists.
The Maoists have called blockade in the Kathmandu Valley, regional, zonal and district headquarters for three weeks from Tuesday.
