Yesterday, a bridge was also damaged in an avalanche near Gavari.

Lahaul-Spiti has been cut off since December last year as the 13,050 feet Rohtang Pass, the gateway to Lahaul between Kullu and Keylong, is closed for vehicular movement due to heavy snowfall.

Residents have been having a tough time in the absence of healthcare. On Tuesday, due to inclement weather in Kullu and Lahaul, the patients could not be airlifted.

Manali town and tourist places such as Solang and Gulaba also received heavy snowfall on Tuesday.

In Mandi district, Seraj valley, a few parts of Karsog and Kamrunag witnessed snowfall, which blocked the local link roads.
