Chamba, April 30
The administration of Pangi subdivision in Chamba district has started clearing snow from the Saach Pass on a war footing and is trying to link the valley with the rest of Chamba district by the first week of May.
It is for the first time that the highway will be opened to the vehicular traffic in a record time, if the weather conditions remain favourable. Resident Commissioner Rohit Rathore said on Sunday that the PWD had pressed into service JCB machines and dozers to clear the snow from the pass.
“The highway connects Pangi valley headquarters Killar with Chamba district,” Rathore said.
For providing easy telecommunication connectivity to residents of the valley, Rathore said private telecom operators were also being contacted to install more mobile towers. The Killar-Chamba highway is the lifeline for the people of Pangi.
