(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar- In view of the ongoing snowfall and slippery road condition in Kashmir's hilly areas, traffic Police has issued advisory for motorists.

According to the advisory, only 4X4 vehicles and those equipped with anti-skid chains, with a seating capacity of no more than 10 seats, will be allowed on specific hilly roads.

The advisory stated that these roads include Tangmarg-Gulmarg, Mughal Road, Zojila, Sinthon, Gurez-Bandipora, Pahalgam-Chandanwari, Kupwara-Karnah, and Kupwara-Machil.

“To prevent traffic jams and delays, only registered anti-skid chain vendors will be permitted to install chains at designated locations along these routes.
