Hill Collapse Blocks NH-45 in Narsinghpur, Bhopal-Jabalpur Route Diverted
A big part of a hill fell down onto a road called National Highway 45.
The hill is in a place called Narsinghpur, in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
When lots of rocks and dirt slide down a hill like this, we call it a landslide.
The rocks and debris covered the road and blocked traffic.
Luckily, no cars were hit and nobody got hurt.
The road connects two big cities, Bhopal and Jabalpur.
To keep drivers safe, the road was changed so cars could only go one way at a time.
Road workers and officials came to the spot and put up barriers.
They are working to clear away the rocks and open the road fully again.
A part of a hill collapsed onto National Highway-45 in Narsinghpur district, Madhya Pradesh, on Thursday.
The landslide occurred in the Barghati forest area under Suatla police station limits, blocking the Bhopal-Jabalpur route.
Large rocks and debris fell onto the road, but no vehicle was hit and no injuries were reported.
As a safety measure, the highway was made one-way, allowing vehicles to pass through a single lane.
National Highway officials reached the site, put up barricades, and plans are underway to clear the debris and restore normal traffic.
