Hassan Deputy Commissioner R.Girish, on Friday, issued an order banning the movement of vehicles on the Shiradi Ghat stretch of NH-75 with immediate effect due to landslips at Donigal near Sakleshpur.
The DC, in his earlier order issued on Thursday, had imposed restrictions on the movement of vehicles at night. However, he revised the order within a day banning the movement of all kinds of vehicles on the stretch between Donigal and Heggadde.
“In view of repeated landslips in the Western Ghats caused by the heavy downpour, it is appropriate to ban movement of all vehicles in Shiradi Ghat”, the order said. This will be in effect until further orders.
