Heavy Snowfall Closes Over 1,250 Roads in Himachal Pradesh Amidst Weather Alerts
Himachal Pradesh is experiencing significant disruption due to heavy snowfall and rain, which has led to the closure of over 1,250 roads across the state. The Public Works Department has deployed approximately 3,500 machines, including JCBs and snow blowers, to clear blockages and restore connectivity. Multiple districts are under 'Orange' and 'Yellow' weather alerts, with temperatures in regions like Tabo village in Lahaul and Spiti plummeting to -10.2 degrees Celsius. Tourists visiting the state are facing considerable challenges, including severe traffic jams and water scarcity, though some are still enjoying the snow. Despite the difficulties, the government views the heavy precipitation as beneficial for agricultural crops and the replenishment of water sources.
