Adverse weather conditions have led to the closure of 112 roads, including three national highways, in Himachal Pradesh. Of these, 107 roads are in tribal Lahaul and Spiti district.
The Lahaul and Spiti police today urged people to stay away from the Chandra river besides issuing an avalanche advisory asking them to stay clear of steep slopes and be on alert in snowy areas.
The flow of water in the Chandra river, which was obstructed following an avalanche on Tuesday morning due to snow and rain in the area, has been restored resulting in a rise in its water level and, therefore, people are advised to stay away from the river, police said.
Commuters have also been asked to exercise caution while travelling through snowy areas as the risk of avalanches remains high in the snow-bound district, they added.
