Kargil, 31 January: The strategically important Zojilla Pass was reopened for vehicular traffic today, bringing much-needed relief to commuters and transporters. Following the reopening, vehicles were released from Meenamarg towards Sonamarg, restoring road connectivity between the Kashmir Valley.
The reopening comes after improvement in weather and road conditions, allowing authorities to resume regulated traffic movement on the high-altitude pass. Officials advised motorists to follow traffic advisories and exercise caution while traveling, as road conditions in certain stretches remain challenging due to winter weather.
The resumption of traffic is expected to ease transportation of essential supplies and facilitate passenger movement between the two regions.
