Srinagar-Leh Highway Shut Due to Snowfall

For the second consecutive day, the plains of Jammu and Kashmir experienced continuous rainfall, while light snowfall was observed in certain mountain regions on Sunday. As a result, the Srinagar-Leh highway had to be closed.

The Mughal Road also remained shut for the second day in a row due to these weather conditions. An official from the traffic police reported, “Due to the recent rainfall and snowfall, the Srinagar-Sonamarg-Gumri road and the Mughal road in south Kashmir were closed on Saturday.”

However, the 270-km Srinagar-Jammu national highway, vital for connecting the Kashmir Valley to the rest of the country, remained operational. The official added, “While there were some minor issues, traffic has been moving smoothly so far.”
