Srinagar, Apr 5 (UNI) Fresh snowfall has once again delayed the reopening of road that connects the border town of Gurez and other remote villages in north Kashmir district of Bandipora with the rest of the valley.
Gurez, which is surrounded by Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) from three sides, remained cut off from its tehsil and district headquarter in Bandipora from last over three months.
Official sources said that the snow clearance operation was almost complete and the repair work was to be started on Bandipora-Gurez road. “The road was likely to reopen for traffic on April 15 after remaining closed since January 1,” they added.
