Vasavilan-Palaly road reopened after 34 years

The Vasavilan–Palaly Road, which remained closed for 34 years due to the war and security concerns, was recently reopened to the public. This long-awaited reopening follows continuous appeals from residents of the region who have long sought access to the road for personal and economic reasons. This road goes through a designated high-security zone and several military establishments.
