While the vital Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH 44) is currently open for vehicular movement, several other roads in the region remain closed due to snowfall and icy conditions.

The Bhaderwah-Chamba road, Mughal road, and SSG road have all been closed for traffic due to snow accumulation and frost. These closures are expected to continue until the roads are cleared and deemed safe for travel.
