Landslides and Roadblocks Disrupt Traffic Across Uttarakhand Amid Monsoon Rains
Heavy rains in Uttarakhand have caused multiple landslides, blocking over 80 roads and disrupting traffic, including a fresh landslide on the Mussoorie-Dehradun road near Pani Wala Bend. Authorities have banned heavy vehicles on this route for 8-10 days while repair work continues amid ongoing rain. Traffic is being diverted through alternative routes, with officials monitoring the situation closely. The persistent monsoon rains pose challenges to repair efforts and raise concerns about further disruptions.
