Heavy rainfall damages culvert along Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch NH
Rajouri, Sep 15: Vehicular movement on Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch National Highway (NH 144A) remained suspended for over five hours on Friday after flash floods in nearby rivulet, triggered by overnight heavy rains, washed away a culvert, built alongside a bridge construction site at Rajal Top in Nowshera.
The highway was closed for traffic at around 6 am and vehicular movement was restored after 11 am.
Officials said, “At Rajal Top, the concerned agency is running a project for construction of a bridge as a part of ongoing up-gradation of NH 144A. Main stretch of highway at this location is presently closed for traffic whereas a small culvert was built alongside the highway at this location to facilitate movement of vehicles.
