Srinagar: For the second consecutive day, the vital Srinagar-Jammu national highway has been shut down due to landslides caused by heavy rains in the Ramban district. Traffic department officials have confirmed multiple landslides, prompting ongoing efforts to clear the road for passage.
Authorities advise travelers against embarking on their journey without prior consultation with control rooms in Srinagar and Jammu. Notably, this highway serves as a crucial lifeline for transporting essential supplies into the landlocked Valley.
In addition to the Srinagar-Jammu highway closure, several other routes, including Srinagar-Leh, Mughal Road, Sinthan-Kishtwar road, Bandipora-Gurez, and Kupwara-Tangdhar road, remain inaccessible due to heavy snowfall, further complicating transportation in the region.
