Gulmarg, Dec 18 :
Authorities in Gulmarg have imposed restrictions on the movement of vehicles along the Tangmarg–Gulmarg road in view of the forecast of rain and snowfall. According to an advisory issued by the office of the Sub Divisional Magistrate Gulmarg, heavy vehicles and all vehicles not equipped with anti skid chains have been barred from plying on the route until further orders.
