Uri, Mar 22: The strategic Uri-Baramulla National Highway (NH-1), the only all-weather road connecting the border town of Uri to the rest of the valley, was blocked on Sunday following a massive landslide, officials said.
\nEyewitnesses said a large portion of a hillock collapsed onto the carriageway, burying the road under heavy debris and bringing traffic to a grinding halt.
\nOfficials said men and machinery were rushed to the spot to clear the debris. No casualties or injuries were reported in the incident.
\nThe blockade, however, reignited public grievances over infrastructure safety and administrative oversight. Stranded commuters alleged that frequent landslides on the stretch were a result of poor planning and neglect.
\n\u201cWhen landslides occur regularly on this highway, people may soon fear leaving their homes,\u201d said a commuter stranded in the resulting traffic jam, urging the administration to address the issue.
\nAnother local expressed relief that the incident occurred during daylight, warning that a nighttime collapse could have led to casualties.
\nA senior official attributed the incident to extensive construction work related to highway widening. \u201cLandslides are common during road construction in hilly areas. However, we are trying our best to minimize such occurrences and ensure an immediate response,\u201d the official said.
\nHe added that efforts were being made to ensure earth-cutting was conducted scientifically to mitigate risks and that strict action would be taken against any illegal activity. Authorities are continuously monitoring the highway work to prevent such incidents and ensure smooth traffic flow, he added.<\/p>\n
