Dharamshala, July 30 -- A major tragedy was averted on Wednesday after a landslide and rockfall occurred on the hillside adjoining the Dharamshala Bus Stand, prompting the Kangra district administration to order an immediate assessment of the affected area.
The incident took place at around 8:15 a.m. when large boulders began rolling down the hillside.
A tree was also uprooted and fell downhill during the rockfall.
The continuous fall of rocks posed a threat to the nearby Kangra Art Museum building.
Fortunately, no buses or other vehicles were parked inside the bus stand premises at the time of the incident.
Officials said the situation could have turned disastrous had passenger buses or a large number of commuters been present.
