Srinagar: Jammu-Srinagar highway, the only surface link connecting Kashmir Valley with the outside world, has been closed again due to shooting stones and stone-slide in Ramban district.
The traffic department said that thoroughfare was blocked due to shooting stones at Rampadi in Banihal area of the district early on Wednesday morning. Sources said a major slide occurred near Rampadi, leading to the closure of the strategic highway.
“The highway is still closed,” a traffic department official told GNS at 11 am, adding, “After clearance of debris and halt in shooting stones, traffic will be released.”
