Heavy snowfall and highly slippery road conditions in Zojila Pass stretch of the over 400-km long Srinagar-Leh highway on Thursday again forced closure of the road.
Fresh snowfall in Pir Ki Gali area of the Mughal Road that connects Kashmir Valley with the Rajouri district of Jammu region has also halted traffic on this road link.
The Srinagar-Jammu highway, the main artery of supplies for the landlocked valley, was, however, open for traffic on Friday.
