Shimla, September 7
The Sanjauli-Victory Tunnel road in the heart of the city was blocked following a landslide near Government College, Sanjauli, this afternoon. However, no casualty was reported. The Shimla administration deployed machinery to clear the road and vehicles were diverted via the Dhalli-Mehli-Khalini-New ISBT and Sanjauli-Chhota Shimla-bus stand road.
All upper Shimla-bound buses ply on this route from the Lakkar Bazaar bus stand. A large number of vehicles were stranded on both sides of the landslide spot. This stretch is unstable and frequent landslides are witnessed there as the work to widen the IGMC-Sanjauli road, which is above this place, is going on.
Meanwhile, the local MeT office has issued a yellow warning of heavy rain, thunderstorm and lightning in 10 districts barring Kinnaur and Lahaul and Spiti on September 8, 9 and 10.
