With an aim to ensure road connectivity to all inhabited areas, the district administration, in coordination with the Border Roads Organisation (BRO/GREF), is working at a brisk pace to clear snow on the Bhaderwah–Pathankot road. Higher reaches of Bhaderwah received a fresh spell of snowfall. Sharing details, Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Bhaderwah, Sunil Kumar Bhutiyal, said Bhaderwah has received heavy snowfall this year after many years. Restoration of road connectivity became the primary challenge following the snowfall. He added that with sustained and coordinated efforts to minimise inconvenience to the public, all internal and link roads in Bhaderwah and adjoining areas have been restored for traffic movement. The restoration work was carried out by PMGSY, R&B, PWD, and GREF on more than 25 roads. The ADC further informed that snow clearance on the Bhaderwah–Pathankot road is underway and efforts are being made to open the road for traffic at the earliest, as the stretch remains under heavy accumulation of snow. Higher reaches of Bhaderwah witnessed a fresh spell of snowfall last night, while the plains experienced rainfall.
