“Just spoke to DC Anantnag about the current situation of the road between Qazigund & the tunnel. The icy conditions have caused traffic to back up. The stranded vehicles, in both directions, are slowly moving & where necessary being assisted. The DC is on the spot with his team. I’ve instructed him to ensure that vehicles with families & children must be given priority. If necessary arrangements for overnight shelter will be made.
