Bailey bridge to be installed near Theog landslide site
A day after a major landslide at Theog on the Hindustan-Tibet road (NH-5) cut off upper Himachal areas from Shimla, a landslide occurred near Parala on a state highway in Shimla district today.
The vehicular movement remained disrupted for about three hours before the PWD workers cleared the road. Commuters going toward or coming from Rohru and Jubbal Kotkhai faced inconvenience.
Meanwhile, the situation at Theog turned from bad to worse as another landslide was reported at the same spot this morning and a portion of the retaining wall and its foundation got damaged. PWD officials said now the restoration of the NH-5 would take around a month, instead of a week, as estimated earlier.
