A viral social media video shows Sela Lake in Arunachal Pradesh frozen due to snowfall, and a group of tourists falling into the frozen lake after the ice breaks. Tourists heading towards Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh or other regions of the state should avoid walking on frozen lakes and should exercise caution and stay vigilant when near frozen lakes as a safety precaution.
A few days ago, in anticipation of the winter season and the challenges posed by extreme weather conditions, Tawang DC Kanki Darang issued a comprehensive advisory aimed at ensuring public safety for tourists planning to visit high-altitude destinations. The advisory mentioned that tourists are strictly advised against stepping onto frozen lakes, as the ice may not be thick enough to support human weight. In case of emergencies, tourists should follow the instructions of local authorities, tour operators, guides, and rescue teams.
As the winter season brings severe cold and icy conditions, it is imperative for all tourists to stay informed about weather forecasts and advisories. Avoid taking unnecessary risks and always prioritize your safety and the safety of others around you. Taking proper precautions can prevent accidents and ensure a safe and enjoyable visit to these beautiful high-altitude destinations. Remember, nature can be unpredictable, so staying alert and prepared is essential. Stay alert and stay safe.
