Jammu & Kashmir Highway reopens for one-way traffic

JAMMU: The Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, which was closed due to landslides, was reopened for one-way traffic today.

The highway, the only all-weather surface link connecting Kashmir Valley with the rest of the country, was closed due to massive landslides triggered by heavy rain at Peerah in Ramban district yesterday.

The men and machines of Border Roads Organisation (BRO) have cleared the landslides on the highway last evening and the stranded vehicles were allowed to proceed to their destinations, police officials said.

The authorities have allowed one-way traffic from Srinagar to Jammu today, they said.
