Avalanche Kashmir has once again brought life to a standstill as heavy snowfall and a massive snow avalanche hit the strategic Zojila Pass, causing major disruption in connectivity between Kashmir Valley and Ladakh. The vital route, which is crucial for civilian and military movement alike, has been completely shut down due to the extreme weather conditions.
Heavy Snowfall and a Snow Avalanche Hit the Zojila Pass
The recent Jammu and Kashmir snowfall triggered an avalanche in the Sarbal area near Sonamarg, further worsening already dangerous conditions. According to NDTV, the avalanche swept through the mountainous region, forcing authorities to halt traffic on one of the most important Himalayan highways. The viral videos circulating online show the dramatic moment snow cascaded down the hills—a reminder of how quickly Avalanche Kashmir incidents can escalate.
The Strategic Route Connecting Kashmir Valley and Ladakh Has Been Shut
The Zojila Pass, located at 11,575 feet, is a critical lifeline that connects Srinagar to Leh. Due to the “avalan….” and ongoing snowfall, the Kashmir to Ladakh route has been closed indefinitely. This has impacted not only local travelers but also military convoys that use the pass for transporting essential supplies to forward areas.
Authorities Suspended Traffic on Multiple Key and Strategic Roads
Authorities responded swiftly by suspending traffic across several routes to prevent further risk. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and disaster response teams are actively working to clear the area, but conditions remain dangerous due to the risk of more Himalayan avalanches. Commuters have been advised to avoid travel until official clearance is issued.
The Weather Disruption Has Impacted Daily Life Across Jammu and Kashmir
The broader impact of the snowfall disruption in India is being felt across the entire Jammu and Kashmir region. Many villages are now cut off, daily supplies are delayed, and emergency services face increased challenges. The IMD has forecast continued snowfall, raising the chances of more Avalanche Kashmir threats in the coming days.
Conclusion
The recent “Avalan…” Kashmir event at Zojila Pass has once again exposed the vulnerability of Himalayan infrastructure to extreme weather. As authorities work to restore normalcy, residents are urged to stay informed and follow safety guidelines. For the latest updates on weather, road status, and alerts, stay connected with Notifire.
