Srinagar: The 428-km Leh\u2013Manali highway has been officially closed for all vehicular movement from Monday due to severe winter conditions.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Ladakh Police advised the public to avoid travel on the route, citing heavy snowfall, freezing temperatures, and high risk of road blockages.<\/p>\n

The highway, which connects Leh with Manali in Himachal Pradesh, serves as a vital alternative to the Srinagar\u2013Leh road. Officials said the closure will remain in place until snow is cleared from the four high-altitude passes, and warned commuters against attempting travel during the winter months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
