Two vehicles were damaged due to a landslide that occurred in Engine Ghar area in Shimla's Sanjauli. At least 35 water supply connections were also damaged in the incident, due to which supply in the area was disrupted.

The incident occurred on Tuesday, when debris fell on vehicles parked on the roadside. While one vehicle was damaged completely, another car was partially damaged.

Officials from the Public Works Department reached the spot and removed debris from the site. Ankush Verma, Councillor, Engine Ghar, said that the restoration work is ongoing. He said there was a possibility that a tree near the site could also collapse. "We will request the authorities to permit its lopping. Water supply connections that were damaged in the incident are also being restored," he said.
