Jammu-Srinagar Highway Restored After Landslide Clearing

Jammu-Srinagar Highway Restored After Landslide Clearing.webp

Jammu, April 9 Traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway was restored on Thursday after landslides were cleared, which had blocked roads in the Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir for the past two days.

The strategic 270-km highway, the only all-weather road connecting Kashmir with the rest of the country, was blocked by multiple landslides early Monday.

Although the highway was briefly reopened for a few hours on Tuesday morning, two major landslides forced a fresh closure, officials said.

Traffic police cleared over 900 vehicles after clearing landslides in the Shalgarhi, Banihal, Digdol, Khooni Nallah, Karol Bridge, and Chanderkote areas of the Ramban district.
