Boulders fall on road at Munthal, near Bodimettu, on Kochi-Dhanushkodi route Traffic on Kochi-Dhanushkodi National Highway (NH 85) was suspended for hours after a major landslip at Munthal, near Bodimettu, on Kerala-Tamil Nadu border blocked the road on Monday afternoon. Huge blocks of rocks from the upper part of the road fell on the road at around 1.30 p.m. following heavy rainfall, said the sources. The traffic on the stretch was less following the lockdown in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, and thus the impact of the landslip was considerably reduced.
