A massive dry landslide struck Righa VDC-7 in Baglung on Sunday, blocking the Mid-Hill Highway and stopping electricity supply in different parts of the district. 

A woman identified as Manu Kumari Nepali was also reported dead in a house fire caused due to a short circuit after the landslide swept away an electricity pole.

The landslide also blocked the Daram stream for about an hour, forming an artificial lake. The danger was averted as the stream started flowing naturally.  However, the highway traffic could not be resumed immediately because of continuous landslide.
