A yellow alert for heavy rain over the next four days has led authorities to close 64 roads across Himachal Pradesh.
The Himachal Pradesh state disaster management authority has issued a yellow warning for heavy rainfall expected to persist for the next four days. In response, 64 road segments across the hilly state have been temporarily closed to prevent accidents and landslides.
The closures affect both national highways and state roads that connect remote villages and tourist spots. Officials have deployed additional patrols to monitor the situation and to clear any debris that may accumulate on the routes.
Motorists and commuters have been advised to avoid non‑essential travel, use alternative routes where possible, and stay updated through official bulletins. The authority will reassess the road status daily and lift the restrictions once the weather stabilises.
