Jammu- Srinagar highway re-opened
Srinagar:
After an interruption of almost a day due to heavy
snowfall, the Jammu- Srinagar Highway has been opened
traffic. The 300 km Jammu- Srinagar highway which is the
only surface link between the valley and the rest of the
country, got blocked due to heavy snow. Over 1200 vehicles
were stuck on the highway due to heavy snowfall at Jawahir
Tunnel and Patnitop and the Border Roads Organisation
(BRO) was trying to clear the snow off the highway. The
snow is successfully cleared for travel. However, snowfall
in the upper reaches is still continuing. According to
sources, tourists seemed quite elated to watch the spectacular
snowfall.
