Mumbai: On Thursday, a massive chunk of a flyover on Shimla-Kalka highway in Himachal Pradesh collapsed due to heavy rains and cloudbursts and further caused landslides across the states. No casualties have been reported so far as per local reports.
Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said, “There’s been massive rain in Himachal Pradesh since last night. All deputy commissioners have been put on alert to report the damages. There have been infrastructure losses in Kullu and Mandi areas.”
The flyover connects the four-lane tunnel on Kalka-Shimla National Highway-5, and usually sees heavy traffic.
The national highway to Kullu from Mandi was blocked, too, following a landslide near Pandoh in the morning. Traffic has been diverted through Kataula.
