Srinagar, Authorities have shut down the Mughal Road in the Indian-administered region of Jammu and Kashmir due to an avalanche that obstructed the key route on Tuesday. The closure, announced following the incident, affects the vital connection between the Poonch district in Jammu and the Shopian district in the Kashmir valley.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the avalanche occurred on Tuesday afternoon. The decision to close the road was taken as a precautionary step to ensure public safety and prevent any potential accidents or disruptions caused by the natural event.
Mughal Road serves as an important passageway, facilitating travel and commerce between two significant regions in Jammu and Kashmir. Its closure is expected to impact local transportation and may lead to delays in the movement of goods and people across the area.
