In Jammu and Kashmir, vehicular traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway (NH44) was restored today after the clearance of landslides that had blocked roads in the Ramban district for the past two days. An Akashvani Jammu correspondent reports that the strategically important 270-km national highway, the only all-weather road connecting the Kashmir valley 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 in the afternoon. 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.
