Kalinga Ghat Landslide: Restoration Work Halted by Fresh Slide
Imagine a road that got broken by a big mudslide.
Workers were trying to fix it, but then more rain came, and more of the hill fell down!
This new slide has stopped them from fixing the road for now.
The road is super important because it helps people travel between two areas.
Now, people have to take longer routes to get where they need to go.
The people in charge of fixing the road don't know when it will be done because the rain might keep causing problems.
The situation is quite terrible and the work can't progress now.
A fresh landslide occurred at Kalinga Ghat on NH-157.
The landslide has halted the ongoing restoration work.
The initial landslides occurred on September 16.
NHAI officials were overseeing repair work.
Traffic is diverted, increasing travel time for commuters.
