Srinagar, Feb 21: The Srinagar-Jammu national highway was closed for vehicular traffic for over 13 hours due to a landslide along Ramban and Banihal stretch.

Due to the blockage, hundreds of vehicles have been stranded on both sides of the highway.

SSP Ramban & SSP Traffic NHW, Mohita Sharma said heavy landslides continue at Shalgadi, Banihal. People are advised to avoid travel on highway, she said.

“The NH closed for traffic. Continuous shooting stones at Shalgadi, Banihal hampering clearance work on NH,” Sharma said.

During the day, Deputy Commissioner, Mussarat Islam along with SSP Traffic visited the stretch. He advised PD NHAI to expedite the work to develop a double carriageway for hassle-free movement of vehicles between Nashri and Ramban.

The traffic department spokesman said HMVs with only 06 and 10 tyres shall be allowed to ply through Dhar road.

“The Jammu Srinagar highway is still closed due to a huge landslide and continuous shooting stones near Sherbibi, Banihal,” he said.
