The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has opened the strategic ZojiLa Pass that connects Kashmir and Ladakh days ahead of schedule, a statement from the Indian Army said on Wednesday.
The pass that remains closed on an average for 150 days in a year remained open for a longer duration at the end of 2020 besides being opened by the BRO ahead of schedule on 21 April, the statement said.
This means the pass was made operational after a closure of 110 days, it said. On Wedneasday, 10 civilian trucks carrying essential fresh supplies crossed the ZojiLa Pass headed toward Kargil, bringing much needed succor to the people of Ladakh, the statement said.
