The Himachal Pradesh Police has rescued more than 300 people who were stranded near the Atal Tunnel in Rohtang, an official revealed Saturday.
“Some tourists had crossed the tunnel on Saturday morning but in the evening, they could not find any resting place in Lahaul due to snowfall and were stranded midway while returning to Manali,” Kullu Superintendent of Police Gaurav Singh said.
In the evening, the Lahaul-Spiti Police coordinated with the Kullu Police to send vehicles through the tunnel, which was inaugurated in October.
However, these vehicles were stuck midway while on their way to Manali due to snow and slippery roads, Singh said.
