In Jammu and Kashmir, vehicular traffic was restored on the 270-kilometer Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH44) today after landslides were cleared that had blocked road connectivity in the Ramban district for a day. An Akashvani Jammu correspondent reports that traffic was resumed on the highway in the morning following the clearance of the landslides. Passenger vehicles are now allowed to travel in both directions – from Jammu to Srinagar and vice versa – on the national highway. Vehicular movement on the national highway was stopped on Monday due to landslides and falling rocks that blocked both lanes between Karol Bridge and Chanderkote. Over 400 vehicles were stranded at various points along the highway. Meanwhile, traffic police have advised commuters to strictly adhere to lane discipline, warning that overtaking and driving in the wrong lane may lead to congestion. Authorities have also urged the public not to believe rumors and to verify road conditions through official channels, including the social media accounts of the traffic police and Traffic Control Units in Jammu, Srinagar, and Ramban.
