Jammu, Dec 1 (UNI) The Indian Army is all set to carry out rescue operations on snow-bound Mughal Road as the civilian movement likely to increase on the link connecting bordering districts of Rajouri and Poonch with the Kashmir valley.
Defence sources here told UNI that historic Mughal Road provides a better link to Kashmir with rest of the country and however, nearly 31 kilometers road remains under snow cover from December to March and around six kilometer is prone to avalanches and landslides.
They said, “In such adverse and challenging situations, the travelers plying on this route often find themselves helpless as they get caught in snow, avalanche or at times landslides, thus getting stranded for long hours without any help.”
