Manali-Leh National Highway Restored, Was Closed For 80 Hours After Heavy Rain

Days after incessant rains wreaked havoc in Himachal Pradesh, Manali-Leh National Highway was restored for traffic by Border Roads Organisation (BRO).  Opening of the road facilitated the movement of 1500 heavy vehicles that were stranded. These vehicles are important for winter stocking of various commodities for armed forces and locals of Ladakh. On July 16, locals were seen joining restoration works in flash flood-ravaged Manali.
