Manali-Leh highway opened after snowfall
Mandi, October 29
The Border Roads Organisation threw open the Manali-Leh highway for traffic movement last evening. This highway had remained blocked since October 17 due to heavy snowfall near Baralacha pass.
Deputy Commissioner, Lahaul and Spiti, Neeraj Kumar said, “In view of public safety, civil traffic is restricted on this highway from Darcha ahead towards Leh. However, the movement of Army vehicles is allowed towards Leh from Lahaul side.”
“We will review the situation of the highway tomorrow and thereafter a decision will be taken to restore it for normal traffic,” he added. — TNS
