Summary:
According to the highway police, clearing of the road for traffic will take some time as more landslides are likely to take place in the ghat section. Though this is second time in a month when traffic has been blocked due to landslide in Malshej Ghat, risk of another landslide still looms large. Along with the highway police, a team of Public Works Department (PWD) is also present at the spot assessing the situation before taking the call of reopening the road for traffic. A landslide at Malshej Ghat in the wee hours of Tuesday, stalled vehicular movements on National Highway 222. Thus, the highway has not been made open for traffic movement," the highway police said..
