In latest news from Uttarakhand, with monsoon rain showing no sign of abating, landslides occurred on the Almora-Haldwani National Highway. As the road was blocked, vehicles in large numbers were found stuck on both sides of the road.
Locals said that in the wee hours, large boulders started crashing down from the hills on the road. “It was sheer luck that nothing happened. No vehicle was on the road when the rock-fall started,” said one of them. They further said that it took time for the administration to deploy personnel to remove debris from the damaged stretch. So, the long line of stranded vehicles on both sides was seen for hours on end.
