The snow clearance work on the Srinagar-Kargil highway was completed on Tuesday and the road is likely to be thrown open for traffic on Wednesday.
The road has been closed for three days due to the fresh snowfall in higher reaches including mountainous Zojila pass and Drass area of Kargil.
Official sources said that the snow clearance has been completed and the
traffic is likely to be restored on Wednesday. “However, the stranded vehicles from both Sonamarg and Drass sides will be allowed first to move.”
Zojila had received over 2 ft of snow since Saturday. A BRO official told Greater Kashmir that the snow clearance has been completed from Sonamarg to zero point Zojila.
