The Himachal Pradesh government will soon arrange flights to the tribal areas as Rohtang Pass has been closed since November 15, Chief Secretary B K Agarwal said.
He made the announcement while reviewing preparedness for the winter season.
The chief secretary further stated that a central team would visit Himachal Pradesh later this month to assess on the spot damages in the state during the monsoon season.
The team will visit Kullu, Lahaul-Spiti, Kangra and Chamba districts on November 26 and 27 to assess damages due to clouds burst, flash floods and landslides during monsoon, he added.
Agarwal held a video conference with deputy commissioners of all the 12 districts of the state to review the preparedness for winters.
Stressing on improving communication system, especially in tribal and far-flung areas, he said the state government would provide VSAT and satellite phones to all the sub-divisional headquarters of the tribal districts and other district headquarters.
