MANALI: The traffic on the roads of Himachal Pradesh came to a grinding halt on Saturday as a record high number of tourists entered the state for New Year celebrations.
With thousands of vehicles from other states entering Himachal from Solan, Bilaspur, Kangra and Chamba districts, the roads in Manali, Shimla, Dalhousie, Dharamshala, Solan and other popular tourist destinations have given in to the heavy traffic rush. The roads are jammed completely or it’s taking hours for vehicles to cover a distance of a few kilometers. Not just roads but the markets and streets have no space to move as thousands of tourists are enjoying the cold environment besides shopping.
