how did they reopen prithvi highway?
The Prithvi Highway was reopened after clearing blockages caused by landslides, particularly at the Krishnabhir section. This section was restored and reopened to two-way traffic on September 16, 2026, following a successful trial run. The reopening marked the end of the highway blockage, although some parts of the highway still faced partial blockages and clearance work continued. The reopening was significant for restoring connectivity on this crucial route.
