They said heavy motor vehicles, including trucks, were allowed to ply on the 270-km highway — the only all-weather road link connecting the Kashmir Valley with the rest of the country.
“The highway has been restored fully, and traffic has been allowed to ply on both directions,” an official said.
Most parts of Kashmir received snowfall on Tuesday, which led to the suspension of traffic on the highway and flight operations at the Srinagar airport.
Meanwhile, the night temperature plunged several degrees below the freezing point at most places in Kashmir on Tuesday.
