Jammu-Srinagar national highway reopens after two days

BANIHAL/JAMMU: The 270-km Jammu-Srinagar national highway was reopened on Sunday after remaining closed for two days, paving the way for resumption of traffic movement, mostly trucks carrying essential commodities to the Valley, Traffic Department officials said.

However, they said traffic movement was slow during the day due to inclement weather and falling rocks from the hillocks overlooking the highway at various places in Ramban district.

The highway is currently open to trucks carrying essential supplies in view of the nationwide lockdown to combat the coronavirus outbreak. (AGENCIES)
