Besides other roads in Bhaderwah and its adjoining areas, the snow clearance operation on the Bhaderwah–Chamba interstate road has been successfully completed, restoring connectivity on the high-altitude route up to Khanni Top. Authorities said that snow was cleared along a 26-kilometre stretch between Bhaderwah and Khanni Top, which had remained blocked due to heavy snowfall upto 7 feet. With the completion of the operation, road connectivity has been restored up to the last inhabited area. AEE Mechanical Division Khaleeni Doda, Manjeet Singh, said that the road is now open for vehicular traffic up to the 26-kilometre mark.
