Gurez valley remains cut-off for around 5 months every year owing to the closure of the 85-kilometre-long road.
Speaking on the occasion, the DC lauded the efforts of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for working tirelessly to keep the road opened for maximum time and then opening the road in record time after heavy snowfall from time to time.
He said road clearance amid adverse weather conditions is not an easy job but a herculean task. He said it was the hard work of the BRO that helped to keep the road opened till mid December and then opening it for one way traffic in record time after snow fall.
