SRINAGAR: Only one-way traffic has been resumed on the 300-km-long Srinagar-Jammu National Highway after remaining suspended for the past four days due to fresh snowfall and multiple landslides and shooting stones.
We allowed light passenger vehicles from Jammu to Srinagar this afternoon after the highway was thrown open for one-way though work is going on to clear landslides and shooting stones, Inspector General of Police (Traffic) Shafqat Watali said this evening.
He said passengers stranded at Jammu bus stand and other places were allowed to move towards Kashmir this afternoon. He said subject to weather and road condition, passenger vehicles will be allowed from Srinagar to Jammu tomorrow.
Only passenger vehicles would be allowed, he said adding trucks and other heavy vehicles will be allowed to ply once there is further improvement in the road condition.
Mr Watali said that all passengers and drivers are requested to contact Police Control Room (PCR) and Traffic Control Room (TCR) before undertaking journey on the highway. He said it will be too early to say when the two-way traffic will be resumed on the highway as there is a threat of landslides and shooting stones. (AGENCIES)
