Zojila: The strategic 434 kilometre Srinagar-Leh Highway, the only road connecting the Ladakh region with rest of Jammu and Kashmir is likely to open early this year mostly because of the less snowfall as compared to previous years.
The administration of Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are ensuring that the connectivity is restored that will subsequently benefit the people besides movement of security forces.
Beacon Officials told Greater Kashmir that the snow clearance work on the highway was going on in full swing.
The highway was closed on January 5 this year following heavy snowfall after remaining open for the record time despite inclement weather.
