SRINAGAR: The traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar highway was disrupted on Saturday following fresh snowfall and shooting of stones at several places along the road. Light snowfall occurred at Jawahar Tunnel, while rains triggered shooting of stones from the hillocks at several places between Panthiyal and Ramsoo along the highway, forcing suspension of the traffic for several hours.
As per the officials, fresh snow there was slippery conditions on the Banihal-Jawahar Tunnel stretch of the highway due to which traffic was suspended for some time. The traffic on the highway is restricted to one-way as part of the winter arrangement and plies alternatively from Jammu and Srinagar to facilitate smooth journey to the commuters in view of the ongoing work on the four-laning project.
“Only Srinagar-bound vehicles were allowed on Saturday morning but were stopped after rains triggered shooting of stones at Panthiyal, Moumpassi and Sherbibi in Ramban district,,” the official said.
The traffic official said subject to fair weather conditions, the stranded vehicles from Jammu to Srinagar would be cleared on Sunday and no vehicles would be allowed from the other side. Meanwhile, Srinagar-Leh highway, Anantnag-Kishtwar road and Mughal Road continued to remain closed for vehicular traffic due to accumulation of snow and slippery road conditions.
