The road leading west out of Kathmandu, Pritivi Raj highway has effectively been closed [by the Maoists], although there is an army convoy system operating to some extent. The road leading east from Banepa, Arniko Raj highway was reported blocked [by the Maoists] in the morning but it appears to be open in the afternoon.
