Kinnaur remains cut off, faces shortage of LPG, petrol rationing

Having been cut off from the Shimla-Rampur side for a week now, Kinnaur district is facing shortage of LGP and rationing of petrol and diesel.

“LPG has been in short supply ever since the problem started at the NH-5, near Parwanoo. The disruption of road connectivity at Nigulsari has compounded the problem,” said Revenue Minister Jagat Negi, who has been overseeing the road restoration work at Nigulsari.

A landslide damaged a 400-m stretch of the national highway near Nigulsari last Thursday, snapping the road connectivity to the entire district.
