"All field officers including range deputy inspectors general (DIGs), district superintendents (SSPs), sub-divisional police officers (SDPOs) and station house officers (SHOs) should mobilize their sources for road clearance in the snowbound areas so that the road connectivity is restored at the earliest," he added.
"These officials should monitor the weather situation and sound alerts in the upper reaches to tackle any exigency caused by the snowfall."
