Continuous rain has disrupted movement on the Bageshwar-Garud motor road, where debris from a hillside is repeatedly reaching the carriageway near Rawaikhal. The obstruction has left vehicles lined up on both sides of the affected stretch.
Traffic is moving slowly as drivers negotiate the debris and changing road conditions. Intermittent falls from the hillside have created a jam-like situation, making travel difficult for people passing through the area.
Clearing work continues
A JCB has reached the site and is being used to clear the road. However, the operation is being complicated by further debris falling during the rain, causing the route to become obstructed again.
The recurring problem has also been reported by local residents during the monsoon season. The latest disruption has therefore affected both traffic flow and the effort to keep the road open.
The administration has asked drivers to remain cautious and assess weather and road conditions before proceeding. Travellers on the Bageshwar-Garud route should be prepared for slow movement while clearing work continues.
Conclusion
Rain-related debris near Rawaikhal has disrupted the Bageshwar-Garud motor road, with vehicles facing queues and repeated interruptions as clearing work continues.
