A massive landslide at Mehad in Ramban district has led to the complete blockage of the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, causing significant traffic disruption. Several vehicles, including passenger and goods carriers, are stranded along the route.
Authorities have deployed teams to clear the debris and restore the highway at the earliest. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and local administration are actively engaged in the clearance work, but continuous landslides in the region are hampering progress.
The Jammu-Srinagar Highway is a crucial link between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of the country. Frequent landslides, triggered by heavy rainfall and unstable terrain, often disrupt travel in the region. Commuters and transporters are advised to stay updated with traffic advisories before embarking on their journey.
Officials have urged people to avoid non-essential travel until the highway is fully restored. The administration is also coordinating relief measures for stranded passengers to ensure their safety. Further updates on the highway clearance will be provided as the situation progresses.
