Traffic resumes after two days on jammu srinagar national highway
An official said the traffic was restored on the road at 9 am after debris of the landslide was cleared from the highway.

Due to rain and a landslip, traffic on the important Srinagar-Jammu national highway was stopped on October 18 and has not resumed.

An official said that the road was reopened to traffic around 9 a.m. after landslip debris was removed.

After a landslip on Monday in the Shalgiri neighbourhood of Banihal, the road was blocked to traffic. The roadblock caused hundreds of cars to get stuck.
