BRO starts snow clearance operations on Chandanwari road leading to Amarnath cave
Pahalgam, Feb 1: The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is actively engaged in snow clearance operations on the Chandanwari Road, the gateway to the holy Amarnath Yatra.
The 17-kilometre-long Pahalgam–Chandanwari stretch is being cleared of heavy snow to ensure uninterrupted connectivity for security forces deployed at various locations to guard the Amarnath cave shrine, a BRO spokesman said.
The area has witnessed intense snowfall, with snow accumulation ranging from 4 to 8 feet along the route.
Despite the constant threat of avalanches and extremely inclement weather conditions, the BRO has pressed both men and heavy machinery into service to keep the road open and maintain vital communication links.
All efforts are being made to ensure that the entire belt remains accessible for most of the winter season, he said.
