Despite inclement weather conditions, the Border Roads Oganisation (BRO) restored the 427-km long Manali-Leh highway to traffic via the Baralacha Pass today. A BRO convoy travelled from the Manali side towards Leh via the Baralacha Pass. Last year, the BRO had restored this highway to traffic on March 26.
However, the Lahaul and Spiti district administration would decided on allowing civil traffic on the highway. According to sources, it took the BRO 144 days to reopen the highway last year, while this year, the BRO restore it to traffic in 138 days.
