According to officials, the rockfall occurred during highway-widening work. The ban was imposed after several loose boulders and trees along the roadside were found to pose an immediate safety risk to commuters. Officials estimate that demolishing and clearing the debris will take approximately three days. Traffic has been diverted through alternative routes. Motorists travelling from Adimaly to Munnar must divert at Iruttukanam and proceed via Anachal and Randammile to reach Munnar.
