Srinagar: Vehicular traffic on Jammu-Srinagar highway—which is the only available surface link between the valley and the world—was diverted through a single tube of Banihal Tunnel on Tuesday, after its other tube developed cracks.
An official at Ramban Traffic Control Room told Free Press Kashmir that rocks hit and damaged the Jammu-Srinagar tube of Jawahar tunnel at Banihal.
“Number of vehicles got stranded between the Banihal and Qazigund sectors and there are chances of more rocks to fall,” the official said.
