Srinagar–Jammu National Highway Closed Again Amid Heavy Rains
=>The Srinagar–Jammu National Highway has been closed for traffic from both directions today following continuous rainfall and fresh weather warnings issued by the Meteorological Department. No vehicle movement will be allowed from either Srinagar or Jammu.
The highway had briefly reopened yesterday after remaining shut for six days. However, heavy rains that began in the evening forced authorities to suspend traffic once more. Several stretches have turned slippery, and in Ramban’s Marog and Udhampur’s Bani Nallah, the road surface has begun to sink, raising serious safety concerns.
Traffic officials said that essential supply trucks, which had already crossed Udhampur towards Srinagar yesterday evening, are being allowed to pass cautiously through vulnerable spots under strict supervision.
Authorities have advised travelers to avoid unnecessary movement and keep updated through official traffic advisories.
