Tangmarg: In view of continuous snowfall and prevailing weather conditions, the authorities have strictly enforced traffic restrictions on the Tangmarg–Gulmarg Road to ensure public safety.
According to officials, heavy vehicles and vehicles without anti-skid chains are not being allowed to ply on the Tangmarg–Gulmarg Road with the onset of rain and snowfall.
Police officers are actively deployed at the Tangmarg TCP naka, where vehicles are being physically checked. Only those vehicles fitted with anti-skid chains are being permitted to proceed towards Gulmarg.
Officials further said that the Gulmarg Road, including the Tangmarg–Gulmarg stretch, has been cleared, and snow clearance operations are going on continuously using snow cutters to keep the road functional amid fresh snowfall.
However, as per the advisory already issued, heavy vehicles have been completely barred from heading towards Gulmarg from today, especially in view of the heavy snowfall recorded in Gulmarg last night.
Authorities have appealed to commuters to cooperate with police and traffic personnel, follow the advisory strictly, and avoid unnecessary travel during adverse weather conditions.
Meanwhile, the situation is being closely monitored, and further instructions will be issued as per weather conditions, officials added.(KNS)
