Overview
- BRO said vehicular movement on the Kishtwar–Sansari axis is restored after repeated late-January snowstorms blocked the 112-km route.
- The 118 Road Construction Company of the 35 Border Roads Task Force executed a concentrated 72-hour push under Project Sampark to clear the road.
- The corridor climbs to 8,759 feet and reconnects J&K’s Chenab Valley with Himachal Pradesh’s Lahaul-Spiti region.
- Officials detailed a phased effort that cleared roughly 2.5 feet by January 26 and about 3.5 feet between January 28 and 30 to reopen the link.
- BRO teams continue snow-removal on the Mughal Road, where 8 to 10 feet of accumulation is being worked through to sustain winter connectivity.
