KUPWARA: Despite persistent snowfall and challenging weather, the District Administration Kupwara has implemented comprehensive, coordinated measures to maintain road connectivity and uninterrupted essential supplies across the district.
Road-maintaining agencies including MED, R&B, PMGSY, BRO, and Urban Local Bodies are collaborating closely to restore access. Under Priority-I, II & III routes, MED has restored more than 85% road connectivity. Similarly, R&B and PMGSY authorities have been directed to restore the connectivity on an urgent basis as per priority. BRO is also working promptly to restore connectivity in boarder areas.
Today, Senior officers including DC Kupwara, ADC Handwara, ACR Kupwara, SDM Lolab and Tehsildars reviewed snow clearance operations on ground as well as functioning of health institutions.
Electricity and drinking water restoration is progressing steadily in affected areas, with field teams addressing snowfall-induced disruptions and prioritizing essential installations.
The district holds sufficient pre-positioned food grain stocks in border and remote areas to meet needs for months ahead. No shortages of essential commodities are reported. LPG, petrol, and diesel remain adequately available district-wide.
All health institutions are operating normally, with ample medicines, emergency drugs, and oxygen support, especially in border and high-altitude zones. Ambulance services and medical staff have been deployed for prompt emergency response.
A Joint District Control Room is currently operational round-the-clock at DC Office, Kupwara and handling the issues being raised by the general public through coordinated efforts from the concerned departments.
