Normal life disrupted in Pir Panjal region Heavy rainfall and snowfall persisted across Rajouri and Poonch districts of the Pir Panjal region on Thursday, with no indication of improved weather conditions. Low-lying areas faced moderate to heavy rain throughout the day, while higher elevations experienced light to moderate snowfall. The ongoing precipitation caused a significant drop in temperatures, worsening the already harsh cold in the region. The Mughal Road, a critical transportation route linking Rajouri and Poonch districts to Kashmir, remained closed to vehicle traffic. The road was shut down in the late evening on Wednesday due to adverse weather and stayed closed on Thursday. Authorities urged drivers to avoid non-essential travel and monitor official updates, as weather conditions remained unpredictable. SSP Traffic, Jammu Rural, Farooq Qaiser, informed Greater Kashmir that the Mughal Road remains closed for vehicles due to severe weather. Commuters on the road were advised not to proceed beyond Chandimarh. The Border Roads Organisation also assisted in rescuing several vehicles stranded on the road due to heavy snowfall.#mughal_road #border_roads_organisation #pir_panjal_region #rajouri_district #poonch_district
