Sonamarg, Mar 15: The ZojiLa pass along the strategic Srinagar Leh highway was reopened for traffic movement on Saturday after remaining closed for five days due to recent snowfall and adverse weather conditions.
Official sources said that more than 300 vehicles were allowed to move from Sonamarg towards Ladakh after authorities cleared the route and restored movement on the highway.
BRO had started the snow clearance work on the highway two days ago and after assessment of the road conditions the traffic was restored.
The MeT has predicted erratic weather till 20th March with chances of snow in higher reaches including Zojila pass which may lead to closure of the road again.
