Manali-Leh highway reopens after five months 23 April 2024: The Manali-Leh national highway (NH-3), which was closed for traffic movement since November 20, 2023 following winter snowfall, has been thrown open for military vehicles as Border Roads Organisation (BRO) completed its snow clearance operations on Tuesday (April 23, 2024).
