Srinagar: The Srinagar-Jammu highway has been blocked due to a mudslide at Mehad-Cafteria, Ramban, and a landslide at Tabela Chamalwass, Banihal.

The unexpected natural disasters have disrupted the crucial transportation route, leaving commuters stranded and prompting authorities to issue a travel advisory.

Officials are urging the public to avoid any travel on the highway until the weather conditions improve and the road is cleared. The unpredictable nature of such incidents necessitates caution, and people are advised to check with the Traffic Control Units (TCU) before embarking on any journeys through the affected areas.

As the region grapples with these natural challenges, residents and travellers are urged to exercise caution, stay informed about the latest developments, and adhere to official advisories to ensure their safety. The reopening of the highway will depend on the progress made in the ongoing clearance operations and weather conditions in the coming days.
