Kiren Rijiju, Union minister for Law and Justice, has advised tourists visiting Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh to gather proper information on the snowfall situation before planning their trip. The advice from Mr Rijiju comes after several areas in Tawang saw heavy snowfall. Sharing a video on his official Koo handle, Mr Rijiju wrote that heavy snowfall had been reported between Baishakhi, Sela Pass and Nuranang, and cautioned tourists that the road was extremely dangerous to drive on. He added that at times the temperature in the region drops as low as -25 degrees Celsius.
