Srinagar, Nov 6 : The Ladakh region remained cut off for the 6th day on Tuesday from the Kashmir valley due to accumulation of snow and slippery road condition, particularly between Sonamarg, Zojilla pass and Meenamarg.
Meanwhile, Gumri-Sonamarg road in the central Kashmir has also been closed temporarily due to snowfall and slippery road conditions, a traffic police official told UNI.
He said traffic remained suspended on the highway, the only road linking Ladakh region with Kashmir due to accumulation of several feet of snow.
The road has become slippery as snow has also frozen at several places due to below freezing temperature.
