A massive landslide has blocked the Kodla‑Urai road in Bharmour, Himachal Pradesh, forcing traffic to be diverted and causing disruption for commuters.
A massive landslide struck the Kodla‑Urai road in the Bharmour area of Himachal Pradesh, causing severe damage to the highway surface and surrounding embankments. The slide has rendered the stretch impassable, prompting authorities to close the road to all vehicular movement.
Local police and the Public Works Department have set up temporary diversions, directing traffic through alternative mountain routes that are longer and less suitable for heavy vehicles. Commuters and transport operators have reported significant delays and increased travel times.
Emergency crews are on site clearing debris and assessing the stability of the slope. Officials have warned residents of the possibility of further landslides in the monsoon‑prone region and have urged caution to anyone traveling in the area until repairs are completed.
The repair work is expected to take several days, during which the authorities will continue to monitor the site and provide updates to the public.
