Shooting stones again block highway
Vehicular traffic on 270-kilometer Srinagar-Jammu National Highway was disrupted for the second consecutive day Friday due to shooting stones.
The vehicles stranded for the whole day included 20 buses carrying to the Valley hundreds of passengers who had completed 14-day quarantine at Lakhanpur, officials said.
Senior Traffic police officials said more than 300-400 trucks carrying essential commodities to the Valley were also stranded as the shooting stones at Cafeteria Morh caused difficulties in the smooth movement of the traffic.
Speaking with Greater Kashmir, Deputy Superintendent Police, Traffic (Highway), Ajay Anand said: “The landslides that occurred on Thursday have been cleared but incidents of shooting stones since today morning blocked the highway again,” Anand said.
