Srinagar-Leh highway opens for traffic after four days

The traffic movement on 434 km long Srinagar-Leh highway which was suspended last Saturday after fresh snowfall at Zojila Pass, was restored today morning.

An official told news agency KNO that road was opened for one-way traffic from Leh-Srinagar on Wednesday morning.

He requested people before starting the journey to contact officials and control rooms.

Due to snowfall authorities closed the Srinagar-Leh road, which passes through Zojila pass and connects Jammu and Kashmir with Ladakh union territory, for traffic.

“The road was closed for traffic as a precautionary measure in the wake of snowfall,” the officials said
