Shimla | July 2, 2026 . NHAI has undertaken comprehensive measures to ensure safe, smooth and uninterrupted movement of traffic on National Highways in Himachal Pradesh during the ongoing monsoon season. Vulnerable locations prone to landslides, slope failures, debris accumulation, flooding and other monsoon-related hazards have been identified, and preventive measures have been implemented on priority.

NHAI has carried out detailed surveys of vulnerable and landslide-prone stretches across the National Highway network in the State. Based on these assessments, remedial works have been taken up at identified locations. Engineering interventions, including hill protection works, slope stabilization, retaining walls, improved drainage systems, anti-erosion measures and other safety works, have been executed to enhance the resilience of highway infrastructure and minimise the impact of adverse weather conditions.

Special attention has been given to locations that were severely affected during previous monsoon seasons. Along with immediate preventive measures, NHAI has also planned permanent mitigation solutions, including construction of bridges, protective structures and other critical infrastructure, to ensure long-term stability of these stretches.

Recognising the challenging geographical terrain of the Himalayan region, NHAI has strengthened its monitoring and emergency response mechanism to minimise disruptions and facilitate early restoration of traffic in the event of any unforeseen incident. Adequate machinery, technical experts, field personnel and emergency response equipment have been strategically deployed at vulnerable locations across the State. Continuous monitoring of these locations is being carried out throughout the monsoon season.

NHAI is also working in close coordination with the District Administration, Police, Disaster Management Authorities and other concerned agencies to ensure prompt response and effective management of any emergency situation.

NHAI remains committed to providing commuters with a safe, convenient and seamless travel experience on National Highways in Himachal Pradesh. Travellers are advised to exercise caution while travelling during periods of heavy rainfall and to follow traffic advisories issued by the concerned authorities.

In case of any emergency, including accidents, landslides, road blockages or other incidents on National Highways, road users may contact the NHAI National Highway Helpline 1033, the local Police, District Administration or the concerned project control room for immediate assistance.
