The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has started the work to clear the Leh-Manali National Highway, which has been shut due to snow accumulation.
Every winter, the strategically important National Highway-3, connecting Leh with Manali, witnesses extreme weather conditions leading to heavy snowfall and avalanches, blocking the road starting from November till it is cleared by the BRO. This poses significant challenges for residents and security forces in Ladakh, who rely on the highway for essential supplies, medical emergencies and connectivity to the rest of the country.
