[Watch] Massive Landslide In Uttarakhand, Part Of Hill Crashes

Rudraprayag: A part of a hill came crashing down near the Tarsali village in Uttarakhand’s Rudraprayag in a landslide that blocked National Highway-109 on Thursday.

The road blockage led to a long queue of vehicles on both sides of the road. No casualty was reported as the passengers were warned by the locals before the debris fell.

The highway is now being reopened and the movement of vehicles will resume, District Magistrate (DM) Mayur Dixit told news agency ANI. “The passengers were stopped at safe places. The highway is being opened. Once the debris is cleared, safe vehicular movement will resume,” he said.
