Jammu-Srinagar Highway Blocked Due to Mudslides, And Landslides Amid Heavy Rain And Snow

The closure of the Jammu-Srinagar highway, a vital lifeline connecting the two regions, has disrupted travel and transportation, leaving many commuters stranded. The recent mudslides at Chamalwad in Ramban and landslides at Tabela Chamalwass in Banihal have compounded the challenges, further aggravating the situation. Heavy rainfall and snowfall continue to pose a threat, increasing the risk of additional landslides and avalanches along the route.

Reports from the News Agency Press Trust of Kashmir indicate heavy snowfall beginning in the Banihal area, adding to the weather woes. With the highway still closed for vehicular traffic, authorities advise against traveling on NH-44 until conditions improve and the road is cleared of obstructions.

Efforts are underway to address the situation and restore connectivity on this crucial stretch of road. However, residents and travelers are urged to exercise caution and patience during this time of disruption. Stay tuned for further updates as the situation develops.
