Keylong / Kaza: Vehicular movement across high-altitude mountain passes in Lahaul and Spiti came to a halt following fresh snowfall, prompting district police to suspend outbound and incoming traffic as a precautionary measure.
Traffic Suspended Across Strategic Passes
Kunzum Pass: Snow accumulation disrupted the critical corridor connecting the Lahaul valley with the Spiti subdivision, leaving traffic suspended.
Baralacha La & Shinku La: Road links connecting to Ladakh via the Manali–Leh axis and Zanskar through Shinku La have been closed due to slippery road conditions, black ice, and continuous flurries.
Stranded Vehicles: Several vehicles remain stranded at transit points below the passes. District authorities and police teams are monitoring the situation and assessing road-clearing operations once weather conditions stabilize.
The local administration has advised commuters, tour operators, and locals to defer unnecessary travel through high-altitude corridors and strictly follow official advisories before undertaking journeys across high passes.
BRO has moved its machines to clear the road on the Highland Passes.
