He said a massive snow clearance operation is going on and the road is likely to be put through by this evening.
Meanwhile, traffic to the border town of Gurez, which is surrounded by Pakistan Administered Kashmir (PAK) from three sides, remained suspended since January 1 due to the accumulation of snow at Razdan pass and adjoining areas. Though fresh snowfall early this week, snow clearance operation was going on war footing to put through the road, officials said.
