Jammu-Srinagar National Highway closed due to landslides

The Jammu-Srinagar National Highway has been closed for vehicular traffic due to landslides at Nachlana, officials said on Thursday.

Traffic authorities have asked people not to travel on the Highway till the road clearance work gets completed.

"Jammu Srinagar NHW blocked due to landslide at Nachlana (between Banihal and Ramban) people are requested not to travel on Jmu-Sgr NHW till the clearance work is completed," Jammu and Kashmir Traffic police said in a tweet.

The highway is the lifeline of the Kashmir valley and the main road link connecting Kashmir with the rest of the country. Kashmir-bound trucks laden with essential supplies and other vehicles pass through the highway.
