Srinagar: The Srinagar – Leh National highway is virtually closed for civilian traffic as only army convoys were being out to ply on this road after the fresh flare-up all along LAC in Ladakh. At Gagangeer near Sonmarg in District Ganderbal on this side of Zojila Pass, authorities have not only made a drop gate but are also questioning civilian vehicles who want to move to Ladakh Region.
Most of the people with vehicle were stopped as army movement on this highway has increased many fold in the past few days as more and more troops were being sent to Ladakh region due to the fresh reports of tension at several points including at Pangong lake between Indian and Chinese troops.
As more and more army vehicles were moving on the Srinagar-Highway, panic has gripped the locals as they fear war will have the worst impact on their lives as this region has seen disruption of life for more than 13 months now.
