Fresh Snowfall in Himachal Pradesh Halts Traffic on Key Mountain Passes
Himachal Pradesh's higher reaches, including Lahaul and Spiti, have experienced fresh snowfall since late Thursday, leading to cold wave conditions and unsafe road conditions. Authorities have suspended traffic on key mountain passes such as Shinku La, Baralacha, and Kunzum Top, and closed several connecting roads. Police have issued travel advisories urging the public and tourists to avoid high-altitude areas until conditions improve. Despite restrictions, snowfall has raised hopes for increased tourism, especially from visitors seeking relief from air pollution in the plains.
