Lt. Gen. Mohammad Rajab, the highway maintenance head, told Pajhwok Afghan News the highway was reopened after hectic efforts at around 5:00 pm.
Snowfall, he said, had occurred on 28 locations of northern as well as southern Salang. The roads were cleared of snow thanks to the efforts put by the maintenance department’s personnel, he added.
