NH repair work begins at Kalinga Ghat, to take two days
BERHAMPUR: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on Wednesday began repair works on NH-157 at Kalinga Ghat in Kandhamal district, a day after a massive landslide blocked the major route with huge boulders and mounds of soil.
Officials said clearing operations are expected to take two days, though a permanent solution will require more time. “We will make arrangements for the passage of water by temporarily laying a pipeline. Clearing the road and restoring traffic movement is our immediate priority,” said chief construction engineer of NHAI Bankim Chandra Panda.
