The boulders had rolled from atop the hill and blocked the road at least in two stretches.
The Bodimettu-Munthal ghat section has been closed after boulders fell along the sixth hairpin bend late Sunday night, officials said. As a result, vehicular movement between Tamil Nadu and Kerala had been cut off since early hours of Monday. As the information reached, a team of officers led by Bodinayakkanur (sub-division) DSP Parthiban and highways officials inspected the spot. The boulders had rolled from atop the hill and blocked the road at least in two stretches. They cannot be moved by bulldozers. The boulders have to be cut with the help of breakers, the engineers said. With the lockdown coming into force from 4 a.m. (Monday) onwards, only essential commodities such as milk and meat, vegetables and fruits were being transported.
