Landslide at Charmadi Ghat sparks traffic disruption

July 17, 2011
Mangalore, July 17: The movement of vehicles on National Highway-234 linking Mangalore and Kadur was disrupted on Sunday, following a landslide at the Charmadi Ghat.

The landslide occurred some two-kilo metres outside the district border of Dakshina Kannada following heavy rains. The incident led to heavy traffic jam in the Ghat.

Vehicles have been diverted via Mudigere hand post - Janapura - Hanbal - Anne Mahal to join Bangalore-Mangalore NH 75. Meanwhile, a tree that had fallen on the NH 75 at Gundya has been removed.

Police said efforts were on to open the road for traffic as soon as possible. NH Sakleshpur sub-division officials have pressed earth excavator machines to clear the debris.

However, locals expressed fear that continuous rainfall in the Ghat could hamper restoration work.
