The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has been pressed into service to restore connectivity in the area, where roads have been badly damaged due to the landslide.

This is the second major landslide on the same stretch within a week.

On March 1, the Bhaderwah valley was cut off from the rest of the state due to a major landslide in Chakrana area.
