Heavy snowfall in the higher reaches of Tawang District, Arunachal Pradesh, has led to the accumulation of snow on roads, causing disruptions to traffic. In response to this challenge, Project Vartak of the Border Roads Organisation has taken swift action by deploying resources along crucial axes and bottlenecks, including the Sela Pass, Y-Jn, Shungetsar, Klemta, and Zimithang Sector.
Both manpower and machinery are working tirelessly to ensure the roads remain open in Tawang for military traffic, as well as for the local populace and tourists. Tawang and the region around Tawang has seen a significant influx of tourists from the plains eager to experience the snowfall.
