Highway: Only valley bound traffic to ply today
Srinagar: The only road link of Valley with the rest of the world, Srinagar-Jammu highway was opened on Monday for one way traffic and only vehicular movement towards valley will be allowed.

According to an official around 3,000 vehicles, mostly trucks, are stranded on the stretch that has seen long closures due to snowfall and landslides along the tough terrain road.
“The trucks were unable to cross the Jawahar Tunnel on Sunday evening due to slippery road conditions in Banihal and Lower Munda in Qazigund leading to suspension of vehicular movement,” he said.
For several days landslides in the Ramsoo-Ramban sector and heavy snowfall in Banihal caused the blockade of the highway.
