SRINAGAR: The historic Mughal road remained closed for the fourth day today due to slippery road conditions while the highway, connecting the Kashmir valley with the rest of the country was through for both ways with some restrictions.
The Bandipora-Gurez road, connecting dozens of villages, including those near the Line of Control (LoC) with district headquarters also remained closed.
The national highway, linking the Ladakh region with Kashmir also remained closed for winter months due to accumulation of snow and slippery road conditions, particularly at Zojila, Zero point, India Gate and Meenmarg.
The 86-km-long Mughal road, linking Shopian in south Kashmir with Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu region remained closed for the second day today, a traffic police official told UNI this morning.
He said due to below freezing temperature, snow on the road has accumulated, making the route slippery.
During the inspection today, the road remained slippery. But, he said there is chance of reopening of the road if weather improves in the afternoon.
However, he said the 300-km-long Srinagar-Jammu national highway was through for both ways with some restrictions. ”We have fixed deadline for vehicles to cross particular points from Jammu and Srinagar to avoid any traffic jam or accident on the highway,” he said. (UNI)
