Shiradi Ghat open for heavy vehicles

Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil S said that all vehicles including heavy vehicles like trucks, lorries and tankers will be allowed on Shiradi Ghat stretch from Thursday 6 am.

The Shiradi Ghat was closed for all kinds of vehicles from August 14 following massive landslides at multiple locations due to torrential rains.

After the landslides were cleared, the stretch was reopened to light motor vehicles like cars, jeep, two-wheelers and maxi cabs from September 5 and buses including multi-axle buses from October 3.
