Traffic resumes on Ladakh highway, one-way traffic to ply on Srinagar-Jammu, Mughal road

Srinagar, Nov 25 (UNI) The 434-km-long Srinagar-Leh national highway, the only road linking Ladakh region with Kashmir, opened on Sunday after remaining closed for about a week due to accumulation of snow and slippery road conditions coupled with avalanche threat following wet weather forecast.
Only one-way traffic will continue to ply on national highway, connecting Kashmir valley with the rest of the country and historic 86-km-long historic Mughal road.
Traffic on the Ladakh highway was suspended last week due to snowfall, avalanches and forecast for more wet weather due to which Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir, ordered suspension of the traffic as a precautionary measure till further orders. Over 100 vehicles, mostly empty trucks and oil tankers got stranded on other side of the Zojila pass. Stranded passengers and trucks were holding massive demonstrations at Kargil and Drass against the suspension of the traffic alleging that despite good road conditions they were not being allowed to move towards Kashmir. They further alleged that only security force vehicles were being allowed to ply on the highway.
