Gurez road reopens after month-long closure

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has successfully reopened the vital 50-kilometer-long Gurez road today after a month-long closure. This significant artery was shut down on February 15 due to heavy snowfall wreaking havoc in the Kargil sector.

The arduous task of clearing the snow and reopening the crucial pass was shouldered by the relentless efforts of Project Vijayak and Project Beacon, spearheaded by the BRO. Their unwavering commitment and perseverance have paid off, restoring crucial connectivity just in time for the month of Ramadan.

As per the official statement released on the BRO’s website, the reopening of the Gurez road couldn’t have come at a better time for the local populace. It marks a beacon of hope as it ensures the smooth flow of essential supplies and fresh produce, alleviating concerns of shortages and ensuring a more comfortable observance of Ramadan.

The reinstatement of traffic along the Gurez road not only underscores the resilience and dedication of the BRO but also stands as a testament to the collective spirit of the communities affected by natural adversities.
