Poonch, November 13: The Mughal Road remained closed for the second consecutive day on Friday following fresh snowfall at Pir Ki Gali and other higher-altitude areas of Jammu and Kashmir.
Officials said traffic movement on the strategic road, which connects Shopian district in Kashmir with Poonch in the Jammu region, was suspended on Thursday after fresh snowfall covered the higher stretches.
Meanwhile, snowfall was also reported from several other high-altitude destinations, including Gulmarg, Sonamarg and Razdan Top, adding to the winter chill across the region.
Authorities have kept the Mughal Road closed until weather conditions improve and snow clearance operations are completed to ensure safe movement of vehicles.
Commuters have been advised to avoid travelling on the route until an official announcement regarding its reopening is issued.
The closure has disrupted connectivity between the twin regions, with authorities closely monitoring weather conditions and road safety.
