After remaining closed for the shortest time ever, the strategic Zozila Pass on the Srinagar-Kargil-Leh highway was reopened for vehicular traffic bythe Border Roads Organisation (BRO) onThursday, thereby restoring road connectivity to Ladakh that remains suspended during winters due to heavy snow.
Connectivity to the Gurez sector towards the western axis, has also been restored.
The Zojila pass is located on National Highway-1 in the Greater Himalayan Range at a height of 11,650 feet and provides a vital strategic link between Kashmir Valley and Ladakh region.
