Kashmir remained cut off from the rest of the world for the fourth consecutive day on Wednesday as the Srinagar-Jammu highway remained blocked and air traffic suspended due to heavy snowfall.
Officials told news agency GNS that the work is underway to clear the highway — the only surface link connecting Kashmir with the outside world.
“Jammu-Srinagar highway remains blocked due to snow accumulation at Jawahar Tunnel and landslides, mudslides and shooting stones at Samroli, Magarkot, Panthyal, Marog, Cafeteria mor, Dhalwas, Nashri,” said an official. “The work is underway,” the official added. Around 4500 vehicles, mainly carrying supplies to the valley as well as passenger vehicles are stranded en route.
