The Zojila Pass, a crucial route connecting Kargil to Srinagar in Ladakh, has been reopened after a record 35-day closure due to heavy snowfall. The reopening on a trial basis allows only 4x4 vehicles and 37 light motor vehicles access from the Kargil side towards the Kashmir side. The pass, situated at an altitude of 11,650 feet, is a strategic link for the region. In addition to the reopening of the Zojila Pass, the district administration arranged special air sorties for stranded passengers from the snow-bound Kanzalwan area of the Gurez valley in Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora. The Border Roads Organization (BRO) has been actively conducting snow clearance operations on the Leh-Manali highway near Manali in Himachal Pradesh.
