Reasi, Aug 4: The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) 110RCC/31 BRTF/ Project SAMPARK has achieved a remarkable feat by effectively reinstating a 150-meter breach on the vital Budhal-Mahore-Gul Road in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir. According to officials, the BRO completed the restoration work in an impressive five-day timeframe.
The Budhal-Mahore-Gul Road holds immense significance for the Mahore sub-division of Reasi district and serves as a crucial link between the districts of Rajouri, Reasi, and Ramban.
Earlier, in July, the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44), Mughal Road, and SSG road were blocked due to landslides, leading to advisories for people to avoid travel until clearance was obtained, as stated by the Jammu and Kashmir Traffic Police.
The 250-kilometer Jammu-Srinagar National Highway is an all-weather road connecting Kashmir with the rest of the country. Additionally, the Mughal Road, spanning 84 kilometers, traces a historic route used during the Mughal period over the Pir Panjal Pass, while the Srinagar-Sonamarg-Gumri (SSG) double-lane road connects the Ladakh region with Jammu and Kashmir.
Earlier, the NH-44 was also blocked due to multiple landslides and shooting stones from the hillock at Cafeteria Morh and Mehar in Ramban town.
The timely restoration of the Budhal-Mahore-Gul Road by BRO ensures enhanced connectivity and convenience for the people of the region, providing a much-needed lifeline for transportation and trade.
