<h1>Highway authority starts temporary restoration of mountain corridor after floods, funds sanctioned and PWD supported to restore connectivity</h1> A state-owned highway authority has begun temporary restoration of a major mountain corridor after floods and a cloudburst washed away or damaged multiple stretches, severing access to a key tourist town on the national highway. Ten locations are reported completely washed away and five partially damaged; the alternate state PWD road is also impaired and limited to light vehicles. The highway authority convened senior officials, sanctioned funds to its regional office, and will provide financial support to the state PWD for immediate repairs while implementing safety and restoration measures to restore connectivity and minimize disruption to travel and commerce.
