Mughal Road Set to Reopen Soon"

29 Mar 2024 CW Team

Mughal Road, a historic passageway nestled in the picturesque Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas, is poised to reopen its gates next month, offering a vital connection between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of Jammu and Kashmir. After months of closure due to heavy snowfall during winter, authorities are gearing up to clear the snow and debris to facilitate the smooth movement of traffic along this scenic route.

The reopening of Mughal Road holds significant importance for the region, as it provides an alternate and shorter route between the Kashmir Valley and the Poonch and Rajouri districts of Jammu region. This strategic road not only serves as a lifeline for locals but also promotes tourism by offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

However, the maintenance and clearance of Mughal Road pose significant challenges due to its high altitude and susceptibility to heavy snowfall during winter. Despite these challenges, authorities have been working tirelessly to ensure the timely reopening of this vital artery, which plays a crucial role in facilitating trade and commerce in the region.

As the snow begins to melt and the weather improves, efforts to clear the road of snow and debris are expected to intensify in the coming weeks. Once reopened, Mughal Road is anticipated to witness a surge in traffic as travellers and traders eagerly make use of this historic route to traverse the stunning landscapes of the Pir Panjal range.

In conclusion, the impending reopening of Mughal Road next month heralds a new chapter in the connectivity and accessibility of the Jammu and Kashmir region, offering travellers and traders a scenic and efficient passage between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of the state.
