SRINAGAR: Traffic on national highway, connecting Kashmir valley with the rest of the country, was disrupted following fresh landslides on Tuesday, official sources said.
”We have suspended traffic on the highway following landslides at Magarkote area, where a portion of hill has caved in,” they said.
The Border Roads Organisation (BRO), responsible for the maintenance of the highway, has already put into service sophisticated machines and men to work to put through traffic.
It will take few hours to resume traffic on the highway, they said.
Hundreds of vehicles, including those carrying passengers, have been stopped at different places on both sides of the highway, they said. Similarly, large number of heavy vehicles, including those carrying essentials for Kashmir, have also been stopped.
Vehicles will be allowed to proceed towards their respective destinations as soon as the landslides will be removed, they added. (AGENCIES)
