After the fresh snowfall since yesterday, Rohtang pass, the gateway between Kullu and Lahaul and Spiti was closed for traffic again by the district administration, the report added. The pass situated at a height of 13,050 feet was opened last week by the Border Roads Organisation to help those stranded at Lahaul and Spiti move out from there.
