"One of them is the Dharampur-Kotli route, and the other is National Highway 21 (NH-5). Some portions have been reopened, but landslides and rockslides continue to disrupt access. The situation is dynamic--routes are being cleared but get blocked again due to falling debris," Negi said.
IMD Shimla issued the forecast at 3:00 PM today and said, "In the next 24 hours, there is a possibility of moderate rain in Bilaspur, Chamba, Hamirpur, Kangra, Kullu, Mandi, Shimla, Sirmaur, Solan, Una, Kinnaur, Lahaul, Spiti and heavy to very heavy rain at one or two places."
The National Highway-5 from Parwanoo to Solan has been blocked intermittently due to rock, mudslides and landslides following heavy rainfall in the state, said an official statement on Sunday.
Amid incessant rainfall, repeated instances of landslides and rockslides have been witnessed in several districts of the hill state, said the officials on Saturday.
