The persistent rain disrupted the Old Hindustan Tibet NH-5 at many places in Shimla and Kinnaur districts stranding many vehicles on the highway.
A media report arrived here and confirmed that NH5 was hit by heavy boulders, mud, and a landslide at Baroni of Kinnaur, Kheneri of Shimla district.
A bridge on NH-5 escape from a massive landslide but the water observatory on the bridge and NH5 were blocked by a huge landslide and boulders which partly stop the flow of water in the Baroni Khud.
On the highway landslides and uprooting of trees snapped road communication between Shimla and Kinnaur district completely which would take many days for restoration.
