The tourism industry in Shimla faces a devastating blow as the Kalka-Shimla four-lane National Highway 5 in the Solan district got washed away in a landslide. Tourists have stopped visiting the hill station due to the fear of flash floods and landslides. The mountains are sliding and hampering the transportation system in the region. Hopes were high for a tourism revival, but this disaster has raised concerns about the future of businesses in the state capital.
