The state government on Tuesday further relaxed restrictions on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway by partially lifting the ban on the movement of civilian vehicles between Srinagar-Udhampur stretch.
“The restrictions on civilian traffic in the Srinagar-Udhampur section of the National Highway-44 will be lifted on Wednesdays with effect from May 13,” an official statement said. “The prohibition on civilian traffic in this stretch would now be only on Sunday(s).”
The authorities had earlier relaxed the ban on the Srinagar-Baramulla stretch.
“The Government has been reviewing the restrictions imposed earlier this month on civilian movement on the National Highway (NH-44) connecting Jammu to Srinagar with a view to balancing the security needs of Forces’ Convoys with the need for minimizing public inconvenience.
