At Shimla's Summer Hill, a section of railway tracks hangs in the air after the earth under it was swept away during the deluge in Himachal Pradesh over the past few days.
Experts say the loss of geological history along the Parwanoo-Solan stretch of the Kalka-Shimla highway due to the road widening project is irreparable.
This decision was taken in view of heavy losses caused to human lives besides public and private properties during the recent heavy rain in Himachal Pradesh.
