BARAMULLA: In response to the recent snowfall, the District Administration Baramulla has made considerable progress in restoring key services, including road connectivity, power supply and drinking water. Restoration efforts are being carried out across the district to ensure the swift return to normalcy for residents.
All major roads, including the Srinagar-Uri National Highway, Gulmarg, Tangmarg, and other main roads, have been successfully restored for vehicular movement. Salt was applied early in the morning to clear icy patches, ensuring smoother and safer travel. Work is ongoing to clear link roads in rural and urban areas, with plans to have them fully cleared by this evening.
Efforts to restore power supply are progressing well, with 80% of the 11kV feeders now fully restored.

The health sector remains fully operational with necessary measures in place to ensure that essential medical services continue without interruption. Emergency teams are on standby to address any immediate healthcare needs.
