Srinagar

The national highway, the only road connecting Ladakh region with Kashmir valley, and 86-km-long historic Mughal road were closed due to landslides and fresh snowfall.

A report published in news gatherer UNI said that despite heavy rain during the night, the 300-km-long Srinagar-Jammu highway was through for traffic for two-way Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs) while heavy vehicles will ply one-way only on Monday.

Traffic was suspended on historic 86-km-long Shopian in south Kashmir with Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu region due to landslides triggered by heavy rain, a traffic police official told UNI.

However, he said the authorities have already started work to remove the landslides and put through the road.

But, he said, traffic on the road will be resumed only after receiving green signal, he said, adding that today traffic was scheduled to ply from Shopian to Buffliaz side only.
