The Srinagar-Leh Highway was Saturday once again closed following fresh landslides at Panimatha near Zojila pass. The fresh snap is another breakage ever since the road was reopened early this month after remaining closed for about five winter months due to snowfall.
The fresh landslide was triggered by a rainfall. With the result, no vehicle was allowed to move from Sonamarg to Leh. Similarly, many Kashmir-bound vehicles have remained stranded on other side of the Pass.
To restore traffic on the highway, traffic department said Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has already been pressed into restoration service.
Though the highway is open for both ways but only one-way traffic is allowed at Zojila where the road is still very narrow because of huge walls of snow on both sides.
