The advisory, subject to fair weather and satisfactory road conditions, outlines specific windows for traffic to ply from both directions.
Traffic Schedule Announced
According to details received by The Chenab Times, traffic originating from the TCP Tragbal will be permitted to move from 9:00 AM, with a strict cut-off time of 1:00 PM. Conversely, vehicles from TCP Kanzalwan will be allowed to commence their journey at 3:00 PM, and this movement will conclude at 4:00 PM.
