SRINAGAR: Fresh snowfall on Sinthan Pass along NH-244 has prompted authorities to suspend all vehicular movement in the area until further notice.
The snow clearance team reported the onset of snowfall earlier today, creating hazardous driving conditions on the mountain pass.
Officials have requested that all types of traffic on the route be halted to ensure public safety.
“The National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL), responsible for road maintenance, will issue clearance once the route is deemed safe for travel,” officials said.
Authorities have urged travelers to cooperate with the suspension and avoid attempting to navigate the route during this period. “Travelers are advised to stay updated on road conditions and official announcements before planning their journeys through the area.”
Sinthan Top is a mountain pass that borders South Kashmir’s Breng Valley in Anantnag and connects with Kishtwar district. (KNT)
