Mughal Road, an alternative link between Kashmir and rest of the country, was on Wednesday opened for traffic after remaining closed for four months owing to heavy snowfall during the winter, officials said.
The traffic on the 84-km mountainous road, connecting the twin districts of Poonch and Rajouri in the Jammu region with south Kashmir’s Shopian, will be restricted to one-way and only passenger vehicles will be allowed to ply for the time being, said Mohammad Rafiq, Deputy Superintendent of Police (Traffic). “We have started one-way traffic from this side (Poonch) and allowed 111 light motor vehicles, mostly passenger vehicles, to move towards Shopian,” the officer said.
