Traffic on the necessary Jammu-Srinagar National Twin carriageway has been disrupted after a landslide blocked a key stretch shut to Banihal in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ramban district on Saturday.
The blockage follows heavy rainfall that brought about mudslides and “shooting stones” at quite a lot of locations, along with Gangroo, Hingni and the Shalgadi Tunnel stretch, severely impacting vehicular circulation along the strategic route connecting the Kashmir Valley with the remainder of the nation.
A fraction of the motorway reportedly stays blocked, with restoration work on the second underway. Extra diminutive print are awaited.
Banihal DSP, Traffic, Surinder Buddy Singh entreated commuters to exercise warning and defend a long way from pointless commute.
“Persons are suggested to step out easiest after checking the traffic advisory and weather stipulations. Manpower and equipment have reached the placement and are engaged in clearing operations,” he said.
The Jammu-Srinagar motorway is a lifeline for the placement and frequent landslides for the duration of negative weather on the overall result in prolonged disruptions, stranding commuters and halting the circulation of necessary supplies.
