However, landslide was reported even on the alternate route near Madenadu since Sunday night. Hence, there traffic movement between Mangaluru and Madikeri has been totally cut-off.

Highway officials rushed to the spot and a JCB has been pressed into service to clear the road of the soil at the earliest.
