Earlier this week, a landslide was reported in Himachal Pradesh’s Lahaul and Spiti district between Chatru and Dorno Nallah areas.
“DEOC Lahaul Spiti has informed an incident of Landslide Between Chatru and Dorni Nallah, Sub Division Lahaul, District Lahaul Spiti,” stated an HP-State Emergency Operation Centre report. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported.
The landslip rendered NH-505 impassable. According to the officials, after the repair work began, the road was restored in around 10 hours. The NH-505 (Samdu-Kaza-Gramphu) road was also congested. For ten to twelve hours, the road needed to be repaired.
