Srinagar, Dec 22 Traffic resumed on the Kashmir highway on Saturday after remaining suspended since last evening when there were landslides due to which hundreds of Jammu-bound vehicles got stranded, official sources said here.
Traffic remained suspended on the National Highway, connecting Ladakh region with Kashmir and historic 86-km-long Mughal road due to accumulation of snow and slippery road conditions.
Sources told UNI that landslides occurred at Gangroo and Kharpora between Ramban and Ramsu last evening, forcing authorities to suspend traffic.
Hundreds of Jammu-bound vehicles, including those carrying passengers, got stranded at different places on the highway, they said, adding the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), responsible for the maintenance of the highway, put into service sophisticated machines to remove the landslides.
Traffic has been resumed on the highway and vehicles, stranded on the highway, were being allowed to move towards Jammu this morning.
