Road Blocked by Landslide After Heavy Downpour

The Baresand Ghati section of the Latehar-Mahudandar road has been closed due to a landslide triggered by heavy rains. The road serves as a vital connection, linking Latehar and Palamu with Chhattisgarh through Mahudandar. The landslide resulted in a complete halt of traffic, leaving many travelers stranded. The administration has deployed teams to clear the road following the incident. A portion of a hill collapsed onto the road on Wednesday due to the persistent downpour in Latehar district. Fortunately, there were no injuries or fatalities reported. The road is also a key route to popular tourist spots, making the closure particularly impactful.
