National highways and link roads blocked in Himachal due to landslides

On Monday, Himachal Pradesh's disaster management authority told the media that 22 link roads and three national highways (NH) are closed in Himachal Pradesh.

In the Status Report of Public Utilities disrupted due to flash flood/cloudburst/landslide/heavy rainfall during the last 24 hours, the authority said that the 22 link roads and three national highways were blocked in Himachal Pradesh.

The authority said that the NH-5 in the Kinnaur district was blocked due to damage to the Urni bridge. The NH-305 in the Kullu district was closed because of heavy rainfall and, NH-003 in Lahaul Spiti was closed because of fresh snowfall at Baralacha pass.

Earlier, after heavy rainfall, boulders fell and damaged the Mahila Mandal Bhawan in Punan village of the Nankhari region of the Shimla district.

Himachal Pradesh has been observing continuous rainfall for the last few days in the ongoing rainy season resulting in landslides in several parts of the state.

Road communication in the hilly state has been severely impeded because of the frequent reports of landslides taking place and blocking many critical roads in different parts of the state.

The Mehli-Shoghi bypass road in Shimla has been closed for vehicular movement because of landslides amid continuous rainfall. As per the data available with the State Disaster Management Authority, about 22 links roads and 3 National Highways were closed due to landslides in Himachal Pradesh.
