Dharchula: A motorway connecting Dharchula to the China border in Uttarakhand has been closed for the past 20 days due to damage, causing a lot of trouble to locals as well as Army personnel.
Anil Kumar, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Dharchula told ANI that the road connecting Tawaghat and Shobla was opened for repair work during the rainfall. He assured that work would be completed soon and the motorway would be operational within two days.
