Sache Jot pass reopens for light vehicles after seven-month freeze

In a major relief to residents of tribal Pangi valley, the strategically important Sache Jot pass has been reopened for light motor vehicles after being closed for nearly seven months due to heavy snowfall. The 4,414-metre-high mountain pass, which connects Chamba to Killar, the sub-divisional headquarters of Pangi valley, had remained inaccessible since November 30 last year.
