Mughal road reopens for traffic after week-long closure due to snowfall

JAMMU: The Mughal road connecting the Poonch and Rajouri districts in Jammu region with South Kashmir’s Shopian district was opened for restricted vehicular traffic on Monday after a week-long closure due to heavy snowfall, a senior traffic police official said.

Only a limited number of light vehicles were allowed to move on Mughal road Monday from both sides on a trial basis after completion of snow clearance operation Sunday evening, Deputy Superintendent of Police (Traffic) Mohammad Rafiq said.

He said the slippery conditions on the road in the morning forced further delay in the resumption of the traffic.

The traffic on the road was allowed for a limited period today, he said. (AGENCIES)
