Jammu, April 7 Traffic was restored on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway on Tuesday after clearing of landslides that had blocked road connectivity in the Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir for a day.
"Traffic was restored on the highway on Tuesday morning following the clearance of the landslides," a traffic police officer said.
According to an official update, passenger vehicles are now allowed to travel in both directions – from Jammu to Srinagar and vice versa – on the highway.
Traffic was stopped on the highway on Monday as landslides and falling rocks had blocked both sections between Karol Bridge and Chanderkote, a traffic police spokesperson said.
Over 400 vehicles were stranded at various points along the highway, officials said, adding that these were cleared first.
Meanwhile, the traffic police has advised commuters to strictly follow lane discipline, warning that overtaking and driving in the wrong lane may lead to congestion along the route.
Authorities have also urged the public not to pay attention to 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.
