Reported & Written By Kumud Sharma, Diary Times, Mandi, March 28: The date for opening the Chandigarh-Manali National Highway, which was damaged in the last rains near Pandoh Dam in Himachal Pradesh, has been fixed from April 1. This date has been fixed by NHAI (National Highway Authority of India). Due to heavy rains in August 2023, the part of the National Highway at Kainchi turn near Pandoh Dam was completely razed to the ground and got absorbed into the dam. After this, the work of restoring the highway was started here but it took about seven months to complete it.

However, when this route was damaged in August, NHAI asked many departments and companies engaged in four-lane construction work to do this work but no one was ready. After this, NHAI handed over this work to Gawar Company. Gawar Company and its contractor are completing this highway on time before the coming rainy season. However, this highway got damaged in August and this work was handed over to Gawar Company in the month of September. The damaged highway could have been restored even a month ago, but due to rain and non-payment to the Gawar company for some time, this work remained stopped. Now the date of April 1 has been set for complete restoration of the highway. Vehicles will start galloping here from April 1.
