According to sources, due to continuous landslides near Sanai area the Bhaderwah-Doda road remained closed for second consecutive day. Due to closure of the road, the people residing in various areas of tehsil Bhaderwah are facing various problems due to shortage of ration, kerosene oil and medical facilities.

"Passengers are not stranded as they are crossing the damaged stretch by foot from other side of the area to take another vehicle from the other side near Seri village," he said. He said that the work to open the highway was going on as district administration and BRO pressed seven machines and if the weather remains clear the road will be thrown open for vehicular traffic tomorrow. "If there is no rain, we might throw the road open by tomorrow, but continued landslides were creating problems for the road clearing operation," Babu Ram said. DDC Doda Bupinder Kumar and SSP Doda Zahid Naseem Manhas also visited the landslide hit Sanai area and instructed the BRO to immediately open the road for traffic.
