DC Shopian visits Mughal Road, takes stock of snow clearance operations

Shopian: The Deputy Commissioner (DC) Shopian, Mohammad Shahid Saleem Dar on Tuesday visited Mughal Road to assess the snow clearance operations, currently underway across the arterial road.
The DC was informed by an Officer from the Mechanical Engineering department that snow clearance is currently underway, with 31.50 km of the road already cleared up to Aliabad Sarai.
