Meanwhile, there is no change in the situation as the 434-km-long Srinagar-Leh National Highway, the only road linking Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh with Kashmir remained closed for the past over two months. There is more than six feet to 12 feet of snow on the highway, including at Zojila pass, which has frozen due to below freezing temperature.
Similarly, the historic 86-km-long Mughal road, connecting Shopian in south Kashmir with Rajouri and Poonch and Anantnag-Kishtwar road remained closed due to accumulation of snow for the past two months. These roads were likely to reopen in March-April, the officials added.
