This incident halted all traffic, leaving numerous vehicles stranded on either side and causing considerable inconvenience for travelers.

Bus services heading towards Kugti were also halted at Bharmour, exacerbating the travel disruptions. In response to the situation, a team from the PWD quickly arrived at the scene and initiated restoration efforts using heavy machinery.

Thanks to their relentless work, the road was cleared by around 8:30 p.m., allowing traffic to flow once again.
