<h1>Zojila Pass Reopens in Record 32 Days: BRO Clears Snow-Covered Strategic Route to Ladakh</h1> The Border Roads Organisation reopened Zojila Pass on April 1, 2025, after just 32 days of closure, with the first convoy to Ladakh flagged off by Lt Gen Raghu Srinivasan. Despite challenging conditions including sub-zero temperatures and avalanche-prone terrain, BRO personnel cleared accumulated snow in 15 days. The pass, connecting Kashmir Valley to Ladakh, typically closes during winter, affecting troop movements, supplies, and local population needs. Technological advancements and improved techniques have reduced closure periods from about six months decades ago to just weeks now. Projects Beacon and Vijayak maintain this strategic pass.
