Shimla, June 22 (PTI) Snowfall in Himachal’s Chamba district disrupted traffic on the Dalhousie-Lakkarmandi-Khajjiar route for almost two hours on Monday, officials said.
Snowfall took everyone by surprise, with several tourist vehicles stuck in a jam. However, tourists visiting Dalhousie were happy to see snow in June.
The Public Works Department (PWD) Dalhousie Division promptly deployed earth movers to restore traffic.
