Making it possible in winter season especially on snow bound Zojila Pass, Border Road Organisation has facilitated movement of over 4000 vehicles including military and civil in the month of December last year.
Army sources here on Friday said that located at a height of 11650 feet, Zojila is a strategic pass that provides vital link between Kashmir Valley and Ladakh and is the key to operational preparedness of the Armed Forces.
“The success of the extended opening can be gauged from the fact that from December 1 to 31, over 4000 military and civil vehicles crossed Zojila,” they said.
Sources said that in the Diamond Jubilee year of its inception, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has added another feather in its already studded cap wherein Project Beacon and Vijayak has successfully undertaken the daunting challenge of extending the closure of Zojila Pass till Dec 31, 2020.
