Chandigarh, May 5

Snow-clearance work at Baralacha La on the Manali-Leh highway is being undertaken by 70 Road Construction Company of Border Roads Organisation.

The 16,000-ft-high pass lies in Himachal Pradesh, close to the border with the Union Territory of Ladakh, and remains heavily snow-bound during winter.

BRO has also initiated surveys to construct a tunnel under the pass for ensuring all-weather access to Ladakh.
