Srinagar, Jan 19 Despite fresh snowfall the national highway, the only all weather road connecting Kashmir valley with the rest of the country, was through for one-way traffic while Srinagar-Leh and other roads remained closed due to accumulation of snow.
The 300-km-long Srinagar- Jammu national highway was through despite snowing on both sides of the Jawhar tunnel, Shaitan Nallah and Banihal since Saturday morning. After reviewing the weather and road conditions, we allowed one-way traffic on the highway, a traffic police official told UNI Saturday morning.
He said traffic will ply from Jammu to Srinagar on Saturday and no vehicle will be allowed from opposite direction. However, he said, Kashmir bound Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs) will have to cross Jakheni Udhampur between 0500 hrs to 0900 hrs while Heavy Motor Vehicles (HMVs) from 0600 hrs to 1000 hrs.
