Heavy rains lead to closure of Shirady Ghat section for vehicular movement on NH-75
Sakleshpur: Vehicular movement on the Shirady Ghat section of National Highway-75, a critical route connecting Mangaluru and Bengaluru, has been suspended due to heavy rains and subsequent landslides. The ban on traffic will remain in effect from July 18 until necessary repairs are completed, as per an order issued by Hassan Deputy Commissioner Satyabhama C. on Thursday.
The decision follows a significant landslide on the NH-75 stretch between Hassan and Maranahalli, caused by the ongoing heavy rainfall in the region. To ensure public safety, the order restricts all vehicular movement on this section, except for emergency vehicles, which are allowed to pass.

'Operation Sindoor' Bharat's response to brutal killing of innocent people in Pahalgam: Amit Shah
New Delhi (PTI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said the 'Operation Sindoor' is Bharat's response to the brutal killings of innocent people in Pahalgam.
Shah's remarks came after Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's base in Muridke. The strike was codenamed as 'Operation Sindoor'.
The home minister said the Modi government is resolved to give a befitting response to any attack on India and its people and Bharat remains firmly committed to eradicating terrorism from its roots.
"Proud of our armed forces. #OperationSindoor is Bharat’s response to the brutal killing of our innocent brothers in Pahalgam," he wrote on 'X'.
The Indian strike was carried out in response to the April 22 terrorists attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam where 26 people were killed.
