Ramban, Feb 1: Despite light rain, the only all-weather road connectivity connecting valley Kashmir with the rest of the country, Srinagar-Jammu National Highway remained open for two-way passenger and heavy traffic but traffic movement remained slow due to ongoing four-lane construction work between Nashri and Banihal on Saturday.

Traffic authorities monitoring the regulation in Ramban said that due light rain at isolated places between Nashri and Banihal hundreds of light, medium and heavy vehicles plied towards their respective destinations.

They said light medium and heavy motor vehicles released from Jakhani Udhampur are crossing the Nashri-Banihal stretch of the highway towards Kashmir and Jammu, respectively. However, they said traffic movement remained slow as usual due to breakdown of few vehicles and due to four-lane construction work at Dalwass, Mehad-Cafeteria stretch and between Maroog and Kishtwari Pathar stretch between Nashri and Banihal sector of National Highway. Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir traffic department issued a fresh advisory for Sunday stating that subject to fair weather and better road conditions passenger light motor vehicles and HMVs will be allowed to ply on either side towards Srinagar and Jammu.

They advised the people to confirm the status of the road before undertaking journeys from traffic control units Jammu, Srinagar, Udhampur and Ramban. They further advised passengers and LMVs operators to undertake journeys on the Jammu-Srinagar Highway during the day time due to apprehension of shooting stones between the Ramban and Banihal sectors.
