Weather News: Heavy Snowfall In Shimla Triggers Tourist Surge And Massive Traffic Jams | India Today

Описание: On this India Today special report, reporter Asim Basi provides a ground update from the historical ridge in Shimla following the season's first heavy snowfall. Asim Basi noted, 'Yesterday there was heavy snowfall and you can see the visuals now... it is snow peaked all over.' While the fresh snow has brought joy to tourists from Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi, it has also led to significant logistical hurdles. The report highlights that entry points to Shimla were choked with traffic, with some travellers taking six hours to cover just 15 kilometres. Despite the challenges to electricity and basic amenities, the long weekend has seen a massive footfall. Additionally, authorities have halted traffic at the Atal Tunnel due to significant snow accumulation, permitting only 4x4 vehicles beyond Patli Kuhal. Travellers are advised to proceed only with confirmed advance bookings as the administration manages the heavy rush and picturesque but difficult weather conditions.
