Srinagar, July 22: Vehicular movement on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) was suspended from both ends on Tuesday morning due to heavy rainfall and multiple incidents of shooting stones and mudslides along the arterial road.
According to the Jammu and Kashmir Traffic Police, traffic was stopped as a precautionary measure after continuous rainfall triggered hazardous conditions at several vulnerable stretches of the highway.
In a post on social media, the Traffic Police advised commuters to avoid undertaking any journey on NH-44 until the weather improves and the road is declared safe for traffic.
The department also urged the public to check the latest road status through the official Traffic Police X (formerly Twitter) handle, Facebook page, or by contacting the Traffic Control Units (TCUs) before planning their travel.
