Leh-Srinagar national haiway is closed for traffic due to heavy snowfall at Zojila pass.  The area witnessed heavy snowfall and is covered with blanket of snow.

Large numbers of vehicles are stranded along the highway. Men and machinery have been pressed into clear the snow. Last week also the highway remained closed due to snowfall.

Kargil and Leh towns  remain cut off from the rest of state almost entirely in winters due to snowfall
