Several roads, including National Highway 5, have been blocked in Himachal Pradesh as places such as Kufri, Narkanda, Kinnaur and Kharapathar witnessed a fresh overnight snowfall and other parts of the state including Shimla received rains, officials said on Thursday.
The Shipki La national highway (NH-5) connecting Firozpur in Punjab to the Sino-Indian border at Shipki La was blocked in Kinnaur district as a glacier occurred at Rali village in Kalpa tehsil following the fresh snowfall.
