The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced a wet spell in Himachal Pradesh lasting until April 6, predicting light to moderate snowfall across high and mid-hill areas. In response, the Lahaul-Spiti administration has imposed restrictions on tourist movement near the Atal Tunnel, specifically in areas prone to avalanches and snow slides. The deputy commissioner of Lahaul and Spiti has declared these regions as no-entry zones due to their vulnerability to sudden weather-related hazards. An orange alert for hailstorms has been issued for April 4 in Kangra, Kullu, Mandi, and Shimla districts, while a yellow alert for thunderstorms is in effect until April 7. Daytime temperatures are expected to drop by 4-6°C, further impacting conditions in the region. The increased tourist activity in these areas has raised safety concerns, prompting officials to act swiftly to protect both visitors and residents.
