JAMMU/SRINAGAR TRAFFIC POLICE HEADQUARTERS, JAMMU AND KASHMIR
Sluggish traffic was seen on NH-44 between Nashri and the NAVYUG Tunnel from November 6th to November 7th, 2023, owing to a breakdown of four heavy goods vehicles (HMVs), a bad road surface in the Dalwas area, and single-lane traffic in the Cafeteria-Mehad, Magerkote, and Nachlana areas.
Traffic between Nashri and NAVYUG Tunnel will be closed tomorrow, November 8th, from midnight to four in the morning, as the District Magistrate of Ramban has ordered the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to launch girders at the Nashri viaduct. This is being done to ensure the safety of the local populace, travelers, and drivers. Please plan your travels for tomorrow, November 8th, 2023, without using the Jammu Srinagar National Highway (NHW) between the hours of 00:00 and 04:00.
Drivers of heavy vehicles (LMVs) and passengers are urged to avoid joumey on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway at night. Nighttime travel is discouraged because of the potential disruption caused by nomads making their way from the Kashmir valley to Jammu.
