Officials said at least 35 stranded vehicles were safely evacuated during the operation.<br \/>\nThe rescue effort was carried out on a war footing, with snow clearance machinery and field teams deployed to prevent further distress to commuters and avert any medical or weather-related emergencies. Authorities said priority was given to clearing vulnerable stretches and ensuring the safety of passengers.<br \/>\nOfficials said the situation at Sadna Top had deteriorated rapidly following fresh snowfall, leading to disruption of vehicular movement. Timely intervention by the administration, they said, helped restore partial movement and prevented escalation of the situation.<br \/>\nThe administration advised travellers to avoid unnecessary movement towards high-altitude areas and urged strict adherence to traffic advisories until weather conditions stabilise.<br \/>\nAuthorities said weather conditions were being closely monitored and further action would be taken as required to ensure road safety and public convenience.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35232\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35232\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35232\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1-300x237.jpg\" alt=\"Overnight Rescue Operation Launched At Sadna Top Amid Heavy Snowfall, 35 Stranded Vehicles Evacuated\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1-1024x809.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1-768x607.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1-549x434.jpg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1-354x280.jpg 354w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1-230x182.jpg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1-194x153.jpg 194w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1-302x239.jpg 302w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1-95x75.jpg 95w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1-360x285.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Sadhna-top-1536x1214-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35232\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Overnight Rescue Operation Launched At Sadna Top Amid Heavy Snowfall, 35 Stranded Vehicles Evacuated<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kupwara, Feb 4: The district administration Kupwara launched an overnight rescue and evacuation operation at Sadna Top after heavy snowfall left dozens of vehicles stranded on the high-altitude stretch, officials said on Wednesday.
