The strategic Srinagar-Jammu national highway remained closed for the second consecutive day due to landslides triggered by incessant rain in the Ramban district. Efforts are underway to restore the highway for traffic, but travellers are advised to contact control rooms before undertaking the journey.

Other roads like Srinagar-Leh, Mughal Road, Sinthan-Kishtwar road, Bandipora-Gurez, and Kupwara-Tangdhar road are also closed due to snow.
Traffic department officials stated, “Efforts to restore the highway for traffic are going on. Intending travellers are advised not to undertake the journey without contacting our control rooms at Srinagar and Jammu.”
