Cloudburst Forces Closure of Zanskar–Manali Road

Kargil, July 1, KNT: Vehicular traffic on the Zanskar–Manali Road has been suspended following a cloudburst that blocked the highway at Jispa in Himachal Pradesh’s Lahaul and Spiti district, leaving the key inter-state route temporarily inaccessible.

According to District Police Zanskar, the road was closed after authorities in Lahaul and Spiti reported that the cloudburst had blocked the route at Jispa, making it unsafe for traffic.

Police have advised commuters, tourists, transporters and other travellers not to undertake any journey towards Manali until the road is cleared and officially reopened by the concerned authorities.

The advisory has been issued to prevent people from getting stranded and to ensure public safety while restoration work is undertaken.
