Early Times Report
Srinagar, Mar 25: The Kargil-Zanskar highway was reopened for traffic on Sunday, after remaining closed due to accumulation of snow for nearly five months.
Vehicles laden with petrol, diesel and other essentials as well as passenger vehicles were allowed to move towards Zanskar.
After remaining closed for nearly five months, the highway has been thrown open for vehicular traffic for the first time in the month of March, which is a record in itself.
This road is the main life line to Zanaskar and Padam towns of the district, which remained cut off from the rest of the country through surface link for five months.
Executive Councillor Zanskar Tseng Sonam along with Deputy Commissioner Kargil Haji Gulzar Hussain and Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kargil Tsering Gyalpo formally declared the road open by flagging-off vehicles towards Zanskar at a function held at Latomarpo in Penzila.
The Executive Councillor Zanskar, the Deputy Commissioner Kargil and the SSP Kargil interacted with the snow clearance team. They while congratulating the team hailed the tireless efforts of dozer operators, engineers and labourers of Mechanical Division Kargil and Zanskar for clearing the 234-kilometre long highway in record time. |
