Ghor-Kabul Highway Closed Due to Heavy Snowfall
Local sources in Ghor province say that the Ghor-Kabul highway has been closed to traffic due to heavy snowfall.
The sources say that the highway was closed on Monday night after heavy snowfall in the area of Kotla Bekk. The sources also say that the route connecting six districts of Ghor with the city of Firozkoh, the center of the province, has also been closed due to snowfall.
The Taliban in Ghor have confirmed the closure of the highway and say that efforts are underway to reopen it Kotla Bekk is one of the most difficult mountain passes in the Ghor province during the winter. The pass is located in the mountains of the Hindu Kush range and is often covered in snow for several months.
The closure of the Ghor-Kabul highway is likely to cause significant inconvenience for people traveling between the two provinces. The closure will also make it more difficult for people in the six districts of Ghor to access essential services such as healthcare and education.
