KATRA, July 16: Heavy rains once again disrupted vehicular traffic on Katra-Udhampur road besides chopper service to Sanjichat, here today.
Reports said that Katra traffic was disrupted for the third consecutive day due to landslide that occurred near the Panthal check post. Incessant rains led to landslide on the road that was already under repair. The road was cleared and opened for small vehicles in the morning but later on continuous rains hampered the smooth passage for the vehicles, informed SP Katra Pawan Parihar.
Chopper services for pilgrims ferrying them from Katra to Sanjichat also remained suspended due to heavy rains in the area. yatris inside the helipad hall kept waiting and watching the mood of climate since morning before proceeding further on foot for the darshan in the evening.
Pertinent to mention that the poor visibility due to fog and bad weather are hampering chopper service for the last two weeks.
