Srinagar, May 14 :  The historic 86-km-long Mughal road reopened on Monday after remaining closed for traffic on Sunday due to fresh landslides, triggered by rain.

However, Heavy Motor Vehicle (HMV) will continue to ply one-way only while Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs) will operate from both sides, a traffic police official told .

He said traffic on the Mughal road, connecting Shopian in south Kashmir with Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu region, was closed again following fresh landslides early yesterday. However, the district authorities immediately put into service sophisticated machines and men and cleared the landslide.

He said LMVs will ply from both sides on the road. However, HMV will ply from one side only to avoid any traffic jam as the road is narrow at some place due to huge snow walls on both sides. On Monday HMVs will ply from Rajouri to Srinagar.

Meanwhile, the 300-km-long Srinagar-Jammu national highway and 434-km-long highway, connecting Ladakh region with Kashmir were through for traffic.UNI

Srinagar, Apr 26: The 152-km-long road, connecting Kishtwar in Jammu region with Anantnag in Kashmir remained closed due to accumulation of several feet of snow while only one-way traffic will continue on historic 86-km-long Mughal road.
Meanwhile, Heavy Motor Vehicles (HMVs) will continue to ply one-way only on the 300-km-long Srinagar-Jammu and national highway connecting Ladakh region with Kashmir. However, Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs) will ply from both sides on the highways.
The Kishtwar-Sinthan in Jammu region and Anatnag in south Kashmir road remained closed since December last year due to accumulation of several feet of snow.
Meanwhile, Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) vice-president G M Saroori, who is MLA Inderwal alleged that despite less snowfall this winter, the authorities have failed to reopen the road in March-April.
Mr Saroori claimed that he utilised his own resources and cleared the snow on the road from Chatroo to Aloo Sithan. However, the snow clearance operation towards Anantnag was going on very slow, he alleged.
Meanwhile, a traffic police official told UNI on Thursday that only LMV traffic will ply on the Mughal road, connecting Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu region with Shopian in south Kashmir. Today, traffic will ply from Shopian to Buffliaz, he said, adding that no HMV will be allowed on the road till further orders. The road is still very narrow at several places and vehicles had to pass through big snow walls.
He said LMVs will continue to ply from both Srinagar and Jammu side. However, HMV traffic will be allowed from Srinagar to Jammu on Thursday and no heavy vehicle will be allowed from opposite direction, he added.
Similarly, LMVs will be allowed to ply from both sides on the Srinagar-Leh national highway though heavy vehicles will continue to ply one side only. UNI
