NABAWAN: The Sepulot-Salung road in Pagalungan remains impassable to all vehicles following a landslide that occurred around 3pm on Wednesday.

District Public Works Department (PWD) engineer Ahmad Fairuz Yunus said contractors are currently working to create a temporary one-way access route.

However, he said as of Friday noon, no vehicles could yet pass through despite ongoing efforts.
