Mandi, August 26

Traffic on the Chandigarh-Manali highway has been restored.

The Chandigarh-Manali highway was blocked for traffic between Mandi and Kullu at 7 Mile near Pandoh in Mandi district following a massive landslide on Thursday.

A large number of vehicles were stuck on both sides of the road. The National Highway Authority of India pressed its men and machinery to clear the highway for traffic.

For the past two days, Mandi district has been witnessing heavy rain, which is resulting in landslides on the Chandigarh-Manali highway.

Due to the ongoing construction work of Kiratpur-Manali four-lane, the Chandigarh-Manali highway between Mandi and Kullu has become prone to landslides.
