Srinagar-Jammu National Highway open despite rains

Ramban: Despite light rains, Srinagar-Jammu National Highway remained open for two-way traffic movement of private cars, passenger Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs), and Kashmir-bound Heavy Motor Vehicles (HMVs) on Sunday.

However, traffic authorities said during the last 24 hours up to 5 pm on Sunday, the highway remained blocked between Banihal and Nashri in Ramban district for 5 hours due to various reasons.

A Traffic Police Official at Traffic Control Unit (TCU) Ramban said that the most vulnerable landslides and shooting stone-prone areas of the highway from Mehar to Ramban remained open.

However, in some places, due to the breakdown of vehicles on narrow road stretches, the flow of traffic remained slow at a few places.
