Mandi, April 24
As many as 230 persons were evacuated in 28 vehicles from Lahaul and taken to Manali today. The Border Roads Organisation had restored the Manali-Keylong road via Atal Tunnel. It helped the Lahaul administration to evacuate the stranded persons.
They had been stuck in the Lahaul valley since April 4 because of the closure of the Manali-Leh highway following a heavy snowfall at Baralacha and its nearby places. They had been going to Leh.
Manav Verma, Superintendent of Police, Lahaul Spiti, said 230 persons were evacuated in 28 vehicles from Lahaul. They were escorted by a joint team of the police and the District Disaster Management Authority from Keylong up to Manali. He said 13 persons were also taken to Keylong from Solang. — TNS
