The Subathu-Dharampur route is facing restrictions from the Army, prohibiting heavy vehicles due to safety concerns after monsoon damage, leading to costly detours for truck operators. This has significantly impacted local transporters, particularly those hauling cement, as they navigate longer routes that are inadequate for heavy traffic. The All-Himachal Truck Operators Federation is urging defense authorities to allow trucks during off-peak hours to ease financial burdens. The dilemma highlights the need to balance military safety protocols with the economic realities of local livelihoods, emphasizing a collaborative approach to address infrastructure and operational challenges.
