Mughal Road reopens after two-day closure; traffic resumes on Srinagar-Jammu h’way from both sides
Srinagar: The Mughal Road was reopened for traffic on Friday after remaining closed for two days due to fresh snowfall at Pir Ki Gali and other higher reaches, officials said.
Officials said that snow clearance operations were completed on Friday, allowing traffic movement to resume on the road connecting Shopian in Kashmir with Poonch in the Jammu region.
Meanwhile, traffic is plying on both sides of the Srinagar-Jammu Highway, the Traffic Police said.
However, the Srinagar-Sonamarg-Gumri (SSG) Road and Kishtwar-Anantnag Road remain closed, with clearance work underway, officials said.
Commuters have been advised to undertake journeys only after confirming the latest road status from the Traffic Control Units (TCUs) in Srinagar, Jammu and Ramban.
Authorities have also urged motorists to drive cautiously due to slippery road conditions.
