Banihal/Jammu: Traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway was suspended early Tuesday after heavy rains triggered a massive landslide in Ramban district, blocking the only all-weather road linking Kashmir with rest of the country, officials said.
Deputy Superintendent of Police, Traffic (National Highway), Ajay Anand said the landslide struck the highway at Dalwas around 5 am, also damaging a portion of the road.
The agencies concerned have started the road clearance operation to restore the highway, he said adding the restoration work would take time given the damage to the road.
Traffic was stopped at Qazigund in south Kashmir following the landslide, the officials said.
