SUNDERNAGAR, August 21

The Kiratpur-Manali road was blocked this morning due to landslide at Chamukha village near Sundernagar.

About four months back, the 8-km stretch of fourlaned road between Pungh to Bhawana was opened to traffic but at many places, the protection walls, raised along the four-lane, had been damaged which had exposed the poor quality of engineering.

The traffic has been diverted and the police have been deputed so that least inconvenience was caused to the public.

It was further stated that that this patch would not be cleared for a few days as disturbing the spot may result ino more slips in the area.

The district administration has given instructions to the National Highways Authority of India to inspect the site to avoid any further damage in the area.
