The National Highways Authority of India has launched a clearance operation on the Jammu‑Srinagar Highway to improve traffic flow and address congestion.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has begun a clearance operation on the Jammu‑Srinagar Highway, a key route linking the two capitals of Jammu & Kashmir. The drive aims to remove obstructions, clear debris and streamline traffic flow along the 383‑kilometre stretch.
Officials say the operation will involve coordinated efforts between NHAI, local police and transport authorities to ensure minimal disruption to commuters. The clearance is expected to reduce travel time and improve safety for vehicles traversing the mountainous corridor.
NHAI spokespersons highlighted that the initiative is part of a broader plan to upgrade infrastructure in the region and support economic activity between Jammu and Srinagar. The agency will continue monitoring the highway’s condition and plan further maintenance as needed.
