Nearly a month after the Subathu-Dharampur road was damaged due to torrential rains, it was opened for light vehicles today. The road was, however, not opened for heavy vehicles as only temporary repair work has been undertaken.
Buses, trucks and heavy defence vehicles were forced to take detours through Solan entailing an additional journey of nearly 1.5 hour.
The opening of the road even for smaller vehicles has come as a major relief to the defence staff, daily commuters, including government employees and students, who were studying in various schools and travelled on this road on a daily basis. They were forced to use the arterial roads through Radiyana village and the ill-maintained link road added to their woes.
