Mussoorie-Dehradun Road Closed After Cracks Appear Due to Heavy Rainfall
Heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand caused large cracks and embankment weakening on the Mussoorie-Dehradun road near Pani Wala Bend, leading authorities to close the key route for vehicular traffic. Initially, traffic was allowed on one lane, but worsening conditions prompted a full closure to ensure safety. The Public Works Department has begun repair work, while officials monitor the situation amid ongoing rain and landslide risks, advising residents and tourists to avoid non-essential travel.
