As part of the traffic restoration on the Kullu-Manali national highway, district magistrate Torul S Raveesh has issued orders for a traffic plan after several sections of the NH were washed away by swollen Beas River after the monsoon fury.

During this time, only local vehicles will be allowed to travel in both directions between Patlikuhl and Kalath. The journey from Raison to Aloo Ground takes 50 minutes. Therefore, the NH will be closed to all vehicles at Raison from 4.30 pm and from Aloo Ground from 5.20 pm.
The NH will be completely closed from 5 pm to 9.30 pm for repair and widening work. During this time, only emergency vehicles will be allowed and the remaining traffic will travel via the Left Bank Road.
