Srinagar, Nov 9: Dozens of villages, including border towns of Keran, Karnah and Machil in Kupwara and Gurez in Bandipora, in north Kashmir remained cut off for the fourth consecutive day on Saturday due to accumulation of several feet of snow, slippery road conditions and threat of avalanches.
About three to five feet of snow had accumulated in the upper reaches in north Kashmir, an official of Police Control Room (PCR), Kupwara, said .
Officials said due to accumulation of snow, traffic on different routes, leading to far flung and remote areas, including near Line of Control (LoC), remained suspended since Wednesday following heavy snowfall on Tuesday night.
The PCR official said three main roads of Kupwara-Karnah, Kupwara-Keran and Kupwara-Machil are closed for any vehicular movement due to snow.
"The roads are very slippery and there is also threat of avalanches, he said.
Meanwhile, the Razdan pass, connecting Gurez, Neeru and dozens of other areas near LoC in Bandipora district, was closed due to heavy snowfall. The road has been closed on Wenesday morning for any vehicular movement due to several feet of snow and slippery conditions.
The authorities have already pressed into service snow clearance machines and cutters to clear the snow and put through the road, which remained closed for six winter months in the past. The government has already approved a tunnel at Razdan pass to make it an all weather road. |
