Finally, the Dalhousie-Khajjiar road was opened last evening before the onset of the tourism season. The road, having a distance of about 24 km, had been blocked for about two months due to heavy snowfall.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Chamba Harikesh Meena, the opening of the road had brought cheer among hoteliers and locals associated with tourism activities.

Meena said heavy machinery like JCBs and the PWD workforce were deployed to open the road which was covered by snow.

In view of the peak tourist season ahead, the officials concerned had been asked to make all arrangements for tourists such as cleanliness, parking lots, traffic regulation, besides check on eateries, so that the visitors could not face any inconvenience.
