Manali Highway Crippled: Double Landslide Chaos
A massive landslide near Four Miles on the Chandigarh-Manali highway has brought traffic to a complete standstill between Mandi and Kullu. This is the second such incident on this stretch today, following an earlier landslide near Diyod.
The resulting traffic jam is extensive, causing significant delays for travellers. Authorities are working to clear the debris, but progress is slow due to the continuing monsoon rains.
The administration strongly advises motorists to avoid the Chandigarh-Manali highway until further notice. The ongoing road closures and the unpredictable nature of the monsoon pose serious risks to commuters.
This disruption highlights the vulnerability of the region’s infrastructure during the monsoon season. The frequent landslides underscore the urgent need for improved road safety measures and disaster preparedness in Himachal Pradesh. Tourists and commuters planning trips to Manali are urged to check road conditions before travelling and consider alternative routes.
