Srinagar: The historic 86-km-long Mughal road remained closed for the 6th day on Tuesday due to accumulation of snow and slippery conditions while the Srinagar-Jammu highway was through with some restrictions.

Traffic could not be allowed on the Mughal road, linking Shopian in south Kashmir with Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu region as snow clearance operation could not be completed so far, a traffic police official said.
