Rajouri, Jan 10: After being closed for two weeks, the Mughal Road is expected to be restored on Saturday provided the weather remains fair.

This announcement was made by SDM Surankote, Farooq Khan Nazki, bringing relief to commuters who rely on this vital route.

"We are going to allow traffic on road on Saturday late morning but this also depends on fair weather conditions," he said.

With the road's reopening, normal life is expected to resume, and the flow of essential goods and services will be restored while many people waiting for resumption of traffic to avail health facilities from hospitals in Kashmir will get a sigh of relief.
