KISHTWAR, Aug 22: A rockslide occurred today on the road near Lidrari area affecting Kishtwar to Paddar road which forms a part of Galhar Sansari Axis.
Immediately after the rockslide, the General Reserve Engineer Force (GREF) of Border Roads Organisation (BRO) swiftly swung into action and put its manpower and machinery into work to clear the road of boulders and rocks.
Under the efficient supervision of O.C GREF, Gaurav, 118 R CC Kishtwar and local administration coordinated the clearance process meticulously.
In collaborative efforts of BRO-GREF and the local authorities the road was cleared with utmost efficiency and precision.
The Kishtwar to Paddar road has recently experienced increased traffic due to the ongoing Machail Mata Yatra 2023, attracting a substantial influx of visitors. The incident could have potentially disrupted the transportation and pilgrimage activities; however, the prompt action by the concerned authorities ensured that traffic flow remained uninterrupted.
