Vehicular traffic will remain closed for one hour thrice a day in view of jams witnessed due to the ongoing work to widen the Mandi to Pandoh highway and the possibility of accidents due to cutting and blasting work. No vehicle will be allowed from 10 am to 11 am, 12.30 pm to 1.30 pm and 3.30 pm to 4.30 pm from both sides of the highway.
Mandi SP Shalini Agnihotri said that there were three contractors working on this highway stretch. She added that there was no coordination between the contractors and they were carrying out blasting arbitrarily, hindering traffic.
