Mangalore, July 3: Traffic on the National Highway 66, connecting Kerala and Karnataka, was disrupted for nearly an hour following a landslide at Padupanambur in Mulky near here on Saturday.

Vehicles from both sides were stranded as the road was completely blocked when the hillock slipped blocking the road at around 6pm. Police arranged for three earthmover machines immediately to clear the mass of soil from the road. By around 7pm, police made arrangements for one way traffic and later the soil has been cleared completely.
