After several hours of restoration work, the road was successfully reopened and traffic resumed on Tuesday afternoon.

With the debris removed, vehicles were allowed to pass through the route, restoring connectivity between Pahalgam and Anantnag.

Authorities have advised motorists to remain cautious while travelling through the area, as weather conditions may continue to pose a risk of landslides and falling stones in vulnerable stretches.
