The vehicular movement had stopped on the highway prior to the landslide after some small boulders fell downhill. The incident took place near Tota Ghati. As per reports, no one was injured in the incident.
It may be noted here that the hill state of Uttarakhand has been receiving heavy rains for the past few days and this has led to several incidents of landslides.
Earlier on Saturday, a part of a hotel had collapsed in Uttarakhand`s Joshimath. Thankfully, the local administration, as well as hotel staff, had evacuated guests in time before the building partially collapsed and slid down the cliff.
