Traffic was suspended on the Wanpoh-Sangam stretch of the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway in view of an aircraft trial run on the emergency landing strip at Bijbehara on Monday, officials said. The work on the 3.5-kilometre emergency landing strip was started in 2020 and completed late last year.
Officials said that security was heightened along the emergency landing strip with additional personnel deployed to ensure that people do not stray close to the area.
