Srinagar, March 24, 2025 – The Border Roads Organization (BRO) is currently engaged in a significant operation to restore connectivity between Gurez and Bandipora in Jammu and Kashmir. The critical route has been blocked due to heavy snowfall, and efforts are underway to clear the snow from both ends to reopen the road and ensure smooth transportation.
This essential road serves as a lifeline for residents of Gurez Valley, and its closure due to harsh winter conditions has caused major disruptions. The BRO, known for its expertise in high-altitude infrastructure work, has mobilized a team of personnel and machinery to tackle the snow clearance operations.
Local officials have confirmed that work is progressing steadily, and the road is expected to be cleared soon. Once reopened, the route will significantly improve access to essential services, markets, and other facilities for the people of Gurez.
The restoration of this road is not only vital for local connectivity but also crucial for boosting regional trade and tourism, especially as the weather improves and spring approaches. Authorities have assured the public that every effort is being made to ensure the safety and timely completion of the operation.
