Jammu-Srinagar National Highway reopens after two-day closure

“Vehicular movement on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway resumed early on February 3 after remaining suspended for two days following multiple landslides triggered by heavy rains and snowfall,” officials said.

However, the Traffic Department advised commuters to follow lane discipline and drive cautiously as part of the arterial road near Sherbibi in Ramban district is single-lane and also slippery at a number of places.

The traffic on the 270 km Highway, the only all-weather road linking Kashmir with the rest of the country, was suspended on Thursday morning (February 1) after the road was damaged by a landslide at Kishtwar Patheri near Sherbibi, leaving hundreds of vehicles stranded on both sides.
