The sluggish pace of restoration of the Chandigarh-Manali four-lane project by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has irked Mandi and Kullu residents, who are facing inconvenience due to the massive damage caused to this road in July and August.
The flooded Beas and heavy rain damaged this road at various places between Manali and Mandi due to which long traffic jams have become common on this highway.
The NHAI has not been able to fully restore the highway so far. Manali residents have, therefore, initiated collective efforts to restore it at their own level.
