Chikkamagaluru: Traffic movement resumed partially after clearing the debris following landslides at Charmadi Ghat on Tuesday.

Hundreds of vehicles were stranded on either side of Charmadi after massive debris blocked the Ghat stretch following the landslides. Now, personnel from police and fire and emergency services, along with the locals, took up the task of clearing the debris to facilitate the smooth movement of traffic.

Meanwhile, the stranded passengers, especially the elderly and the kids, were offered food, drinking water and biscuits by the locals.

Rail traffic between the coast and Hassan too has been affected since June 11 morning due to the landslides in the Ghat section. It is likely to resume from Tuesday night.
