Dharamshala, July 20 -- Blocked by flashflood on Saturday, the Sangla-Chitkul road in Himachal Pradesh's Kinnaur district was restored around 3 pm on Sunday, almost after 20 hours, said officials. The restoration work was carried out by Border Roads Organisation.

A local nallah swelled on Saturday night, causing flooding in the area. The overflowing nullah brought muck and debris onto the road at Mastrang, blocking traffic and cutting off road connectivity to Chitkul.

Debris and slush also entered an Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) camp in the Mastrang area, they added. However, the ITBP camp suffered no structural damage and there was no local population in the vicinity. No loss of life was reported in the incident.
