In Jammu and Kashmir, the historic Mughal Road, connecting the twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch in the Jammu division with the Shopian district of Kashmir valley remained closed for the seventh consecutive day today with areas in the upper reaches receiving fresh snowfall.
The movement of vehicles on the Mughal Road continued to remain suspended amid slippery conditions. The road was closed last Friday after snowfall and snow clearance work was completed five days ago but slippery conditions forced the authorities to keep the road shut. The road restoration is only possible after improvement in weather conditions.
