Traffic restored on Jammu-Srinagar highway

Jammu, May 27

After remaining closed for several hours on Sunday night, traffic on the strategic Jammu-Srinagar national highway was restored on Monday.

A traffic department official said a fresh landslide hit the highway on Sunday night in Battery Chashma area of Ramban district that led to the temporary closure.

“Debris clearance operation started during the night and was completed in the early hours of Monday,” the official added. The nearly 300 km-long highway is the lifeline of essential supplies to the landlocked Kashmir Valley. IANS
