They said the BRO team first ensured the safety of the passengers and drivers before taking out their vehicles to safety. “The team took immediate action to rescue the trapped people and their vehicles,” the officials said.
The road has been closed temporarily due to fresh spell of snowfall in Gurez valley and along the mountainous areas of Bandipora district.
