Srinagar-Jammu highway closed again
Srinagar: The Srinagar-Jammu highway, the only surface link of the Kashmir Valley with the rest of the world, was blocked due to mudslide at Mehad, Ramban, and shooting stones at Kishtwari Pather and Banihal, in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, earlier the thoroughfare was partially restored for traffic and stranded vehicles between Nashree and Banihal were cleared. However, mudslides at Mehad, Ramban, and shooting stones at Kishtwari Pather and Banihal again blocked the highway.
In the morning, the highway was blocked due to a landslide at Gangroo in Ramban.
Meanwhile, Mughal Road, connecting Kashmir Valley’s Shopian district with twin districts of Rajouri and Poonch, remained closed following fresh snowfall, officials said.
