Road once used by Mughal emperors unites lovers and others
Rubina, 19, and Showkat, 21, fell in love and decided to get married two years ago. But the families of the young couple were not in favour of the alliance. The reason being distance - Rubina was from Srinagar while Showkat stayed 600 kilometres away in the Poonch district of Jammu. But it was a road used by the Mughals that bridged this distance and united the lovers. Known as the Mughal Road, this 84-kilometre-long stretch has cut down the distance between the two places by a considerable 500 kilometres to a mere 100 kilometres.
