Road from Lahaul to Manali closed again

Shimla: The Lahaul-Spiti district magistrate on Saturday issued an order to close the road from Lahaul region to Manali.

This road was opened by Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for two days.An evacuation exercise was undertaken by the BRO and rescue teams to save the stranded people from snow-bound Lahaul.

A heavy bout of snowfall has suspended the road connectivity to the tribal district of Lahaul and Spiti leaving locals including patients stranded.

The inclement weather conditions prevailing over the last few days have made it impossible for vehicles to pass over this road stretch.
