Srinagar-Jammu Highway Remains Closed as Clearance Efforts Continue

The Srinagar-Jammu Highway has been shut for several days as authorities work to clear debris and restore traffic flow. Officials say the road was damaged by recent landslides and ongoing maintenance is required before reopening. Travelers between Srinagar and Jammu are advised to use alternate routes, which are longer and congested. The transport department expects the highway to reopen within the next 48 to 72 hours, pending final safety checks. Until then, commuters and freight operators face significant delays and increased transportation costs.
