Traffic on the national highway, the only road connecting Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh with Kashmir, was suspended on Friday for weekly maintenance.
A traffic police official told UNI that no vehicle was allowed from either side on Srinagar-Leh national highway today to allow Beacon authorities to undertake weekly repair on the road, particularly at Zojila pass.
The UTs of J&K and Ladakh have agreed to suspend traffic on the highway on every Friday for maintenance of the road, which remained closed for six winter months due to heavy snowfall.
