Mughal road, SSG and Sinthan roads closed
SRINAGAR: The Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44), the vital road link connecting the Kashmir Valley to the rest of the country, has been closed due to multiple landslides, shooting stones, and mudslides triggered by inclement weather, officials said on Tuesday morning.
An official told that the highway remains blocked at multiple locations, and men and machinery have been deployed to carry out clearance operations.
Meanwhile, the Mughal Road, Srinagar-Sonamarg-Gumri (SSG) Road, and Sinthan Top Road have also been shut due to heavy snow accumulation, making them impassable for traffic.
Since Monday, the higher reaches of Kashmir have been receiving fresh snowfall, while the plains have witnessed rainfall, leading to a significant drop in temperatures.
