Major highways in Kashmir closed
The Srinagar-Sonamarg-Leh highway was closed for traffic on Saturday after fresh snowfall at the Zojila pass.
An official said the Zojila pass has been experiencing a fresh spell of moderate snowfall since Saturday morning, adding that around 8-10 inches of snow had accumulated due to which the traffic movement on Srinagar-Leh highway has been suspended. “The BRO personnel are on the job to clear the snow as early as possible to restore the traffic.”
Meanwhile, health resorts Sonamarg and Minamarg in Drass also received fresh snow on Saturday.
Traffic was suspended on the historic Mughal Road on Saturday following the continuous snowfall along the road.
