TRAFFIC POLICE HEADQUARTERS, J&K, JAMMU/SRINAGAR
- From April 25, 2024, 1700 hrs. to April 26, 2024, 1700 hrs., Jammu-Srinagar National Highway remained blocked for 2 hours due to repair work at Dalwas. Slow movement was observed on NH-44 due to the breakdown of seven HMVs, 13 nomadic flocks, single-lane traffic at Dalwas, Mehad, Panthyal, Nachlana, Gangroo, Shalgarhi, etc., and the poor surface condition of the road at many places between Nashri and NAVYUG Tunnel.
- Passengers and LMV operators are advised to prefer a journey on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway during the day, as the movement of nomads towards Kashmir Valley may cause inconvenience to commuters and apprehension of shooting stones between Ramban and Banihal.
- Load carrier (HMV/LMV) Operators carrying fresh perishable or live stock are advised to load their vehicles as per the advisory issued by Traffic Police Headquarters from time to time, as there is single-lane traffic and poor road condition at Dalwas, Panthyal, Nachlana, Shalgarhi, etc. on Jammu Srinagar National Highway.
- HMV operators and owners are requested to desist from overloading and carry sufficient fuel during their journey on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway. It is further requested that vehicle owners double check the fitness of their vehicles and carry sufficient fuel before undertaking a journey on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway.
- HMVs with only 06 and 10 tires shall be allowed to ply through Dhar Road.
