Poonch, Jun 6: The Mughal road – connecting the twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri in Jammu region with south Kashmir’s Shopian – was closed for traffic just a day after it was thrown open following its closure for nearly a week.
Quoting an official, KDC reported that the road was made through after the debris of a landslide which occurred last week, was cleared yesterday. “The road was open for one-way traffic since last afternoon and the traffic movement which was allowed on both sides today had to be suspended after a landslide occurred at Rata Chamb in Surankote”, the official said.
Meanwhile, hundreds of vehicles are stranded on both sides of the road. There are reportedly many vehicles carrying devotees to Wangath Ganderbal in connection with an annual fair.
