Traffic on NH 85 in Munnar has been restricted after heavy rain triggered a landslip near Headworks Dam. The disruption has affected movement on a key route in the hill region, with authorities allowing only one-way traffic through the affected stretch.
The landslip follows continued wet weather in the area, raising concerns about road safety and travel delays. Motorists using the Munnar NH 85 corridor are likely to face slower movement as the route remains under restrictions.
The situation comes as the India Meteorological Department has issued an orange alert for Idukki district. That warning signals the possibility of more intense rainfall, which could increase the risk of further disruption in vulnerable hillside areas.
For now, traffic management measures remain in place near Headworks Dam as officials respond to the impact of the rain. The Munnar NH 85 landslip has added to weather-related travel concerns in Idukki during the current spell of heavy rain.
