Dharamshala, Aug. 8 -- Incessant showers continued to disrupt normal life in Himachal Pradesh, with 162 roads blocked across the state on Friday. In Mandi district, 56 roads remained blocked. The Chandigarh-Manali National Highway was closed for traffic on Friday morning between Dwada and Thalot in Mandi district due to shooting stones triggered by heavy rainfall. The continuous rain made travel along the stretch risky, resulting in long traffic jams on both sides. Traffic movement was restored a few hours later. Meanwhile, a mudslide and debris disrupted traffic on the Mandi-Pathankot National Highway near Urla in the Padhar area of Mandi district for nearly two hours. The debris completely blocked the highway before being cleared and traffic was restored. At least 48 roads remained blocked in Kullu district, while 19 roads were blocked in Chamba and 16 in Sirmaur district. In Shimla district, 14 roads remained blocked. Rainfall is expected to intensify in parts of Himachal Pradesh in the coming days with heavy to very heavy rain likely in parts of the state on August 10 and 11. The India Meteorological Department (IMD), Shimla, has sounded an orange alert of heavy to very heavy rainfall in several districts on August 10 and 11. Owing to inclement weather, the Kinner Kailash Yatra has been suspended temporarily. Pilgrims who reached the Tangling base camp to start the journey were not allowed to proceed on Friday morning. Pilgrims at the second base camp at Ganesh Bagh were also halted there.
