SRINAGAR, Feb 12: The Srinagar-Jammu national highway was reopened for one-way traffic today after remaining closed for a week due to heavy snowfall and incessant rains in the region, officials said.
Hundreds of Kashmir-bound stranded vehicles were given green signal on Tuesday afternoon after the roads were cleared for vehicular traffic, he said.
The 270-km-long highway was closed for traffic on last Wednesday following heavy snowfall and incessant rains which triggered avalanches and landslides at various places especially on Qazigund-Banihal-Ramban stretch including Jawahar Tunnel – the gateway to Kashmir Valley.
