Slippery road conditions in Tharad section of J-K highway, only one-way traffic permitted
JAMMU, Sep 11 (PTI): One-way traffic has been allowed on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway on Thursday due to slippery road conditions in the Tharad section of Udhampur district, officials said.
The highway was reopened for traffic on Wednesday after remaining closed for nine days.
The 270-km highway, which is the only all-weather road linking Kashmir with the rest of the country, had remained closed since August 26 due to multiple blockages caused by heavy rains, flash floods, and landslides. It was briefly reopened on August 30, but closed again. In total, the highway had remained blocked for 14 days.
