Jammu:Traffic movement on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) resumed on Saturday after restoration agencies cleared landslide debris and shooting stones from several affected locations in Ramban district.
Officials said road restoration teams worked continuously to remove debris deposited by landslides triggered by recent heavy rainfall, enabling the reopening of the highway for vehicular movement.
Traffic authorities said the resumption of movement has brought relief to hundreds of stranded passengers and transporters who had been affected by the closure of the Valley’s only all-weather road link with the rest of the country.
Commuters have been advised to adhere to traffic regulations and follow instructions issued by traffic police while travelling on the highway, as restoration work continues at vulnerable stretches.
Authorities also urged motorists to check the latest traffic advisories before commencing their journey, as weather conditions may continue to influence movement along the highway. [KNT]
