The border roads organization took to Twitter to share a video of the movement of vehicles through the Zojilla Pass. In freezing cold, the overland route to Ladakh is kept open.
Thick blankets of snow blanketed the entire area, as the video shows. Apart from a door, nothing else is visible in the area. Vehicles can be seen turning the bend and passing through the middle of a snowy area.
“The BRO Karmayogis are busy making history by guarding the Mighty Zojila Pass – the overland route to Ladakh is kept open in January in temperatures dropping down to -27 ° C,” the caption of the tweet read.
