Srinagar: One way-traffic will be allowed from Jammu to Srinagar on the Jammu and Kashmir highway on Monday, IANS reported.
As per the report, a traffic department official was quoted as having said that around 300 oil tankers stranded in the Patnitop sector have been allowed to move from Jammu to Srinagar.
“Once the oil tankers cross the Jawahar Tunnel, heavy vehicular traffic will be allowed from Srinagar to Jammu,” the official said, according to the report.
Trucks and tankers carrying petroleum products have to take the Kud-Patnitop-Batote stretch of the highway as no vehicle carrying inflammatory material is allowed to pass through the Chenani-Nashri tunnel that by-passes the old Kud-Patnitop-Batote stretch of the highway, the report stated.
The highway had earlier remained closed due to fresh snowfall and multiple landslides.
