Khliehriat, June 17: This is for information of all concerned that due to the prevailing weather conditions in the district, the landslide at Sonapyrdi Tunnel on the NH6 has worsened blocking both sides of the road and has rendered it unsafe for travel and use at present.

The clearing exercises are being carried out rigorously by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). Necessary help from other organizations are also being roped in. However, due to the enormity of the sludge that is descending at the Sonapyrdi Tunnel from the adjoining hills, the clearance and restoration of road for vehicular movement is likely to take more than 24 hours.

In light of the above, it is therefore advised that all vehicles should opt for alternative routes wherever possible till further information is shared.
