BRO (Border Road Organizations) yesterday announced that they will be closing the Manali-Leh highway on the first of November.

Even though the weather has been pretty bad this year and at times people were speculating that the highway wouldn’t even remain open in the beginning of October, BRO as usual has managed to ensure that tourists and essential supplies are able to reach Leh especially considering the tension in Kashmir.

Hats off to these brave men who work in the most inhospitable conditions and yet manage to perform their duties with conviction and zeal.
