Jammu-Srinagar highway shut for traffic following shooting stones, landslides in Ramban
RAMBAN/JAMMU, Aug 18 (PTI) The Jammu-Srinagar national highway was shut for traffic early Monday after heavy rains triggered multiple landslides and shooting stones from hillocks overlooking the arterial road in Ramban district, officials said.
Traffic is plying normally on inter-regional roads — Mughal and Sinthan roads — and commuters are advised to follow lane discipline as overtaking will cause congestion, they said.
“Jammu-Srinagar highway is closed due to shooting stones at several places. Heavy rains are going on along the highway. All types of vehicular movement have been stopped,” an advisory of the J-K Traffic Police Department said.
