Srinagar-Kargil highway reopens for 1-way traffic after 4 days
The Srinagar-Kargil highway reopened on Wednesday for one-way traffic after remaining closed for four consecutive days due to snowfall on Saturday.
An official told Greater Kashmir that the highway was thrown open for one-way traffic. “First, the traffic movement from Drass side was allowed to move towards Srinagar. Now, the traffic from Sonamarg side towards Ladakh is being allowed,” the official said.
He said that hundreds of light and heavy motor vehicles crossed Zojila from both the sides.
Pertinently, the Zojila Pass had received over 2 feet deep snow. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) cleared the road for the traffic amid tough weather conditions.
