2-way traffic for LMVs on Sgr-Jmu NH today

Ramban, May 10:   The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway remained open for two-way traffic of Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs) and heavy vehicles on Friday.

However, in a fresh advisory for Saturday, traffic authorities stated that subject to fair weather and good road conditions, LMVs, including passenger vehicles, would be allowed to ply on both sides of the highway. “Heavy vehicles would be allowed to ply towards Jammu from Qazigund in Kashmir on Saturday,” they said.

Earlier, officials, monitoring the regulation of traffic in Ramban, said, “The highway remained open but the traffic movement remained slow due to foot-movement of nomads and their livestock; slippery road conditions; single-lane carriageway at Dalwass, Mehar-Cafeteria, Panthial, Nachlana, Gangroo, Shalgari, Kishtwari-Pathar and poor road surface conditions at many places between Nashri-Banihal sectors.”

They said, “Despite slow traffic movement, hundreds of LMVs and heavy vehicles have crossed the Nashri-Banihal sector for their respective destinations, without any disruption till late this evening. Heavy load carriers are heading towards Jammu in a regulated manner.”
