Traffic disruptions have occurred due to multiple landslides in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, affecting major highways. In Uttarakhand, landslides on the Badrinath National Highway have stranded approximately 500 vehicles, prompting local authorities to provide food, accommodation, and information on alternative routes for affected passengers. In Himachal Pradesh, a significant landslide near Kumarhatti on the National Highway-5 blocked two lanes, with the National Highways Authority of India deploying crews to clear the debris, expected to be completed by tomorrow.
