Traffic crawls on Jammu-Srinagar highway after trailer breakdown in Nashri tunnel; commuters urged patience

Traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) is experiencing slow movement this morning due to a breakdown of a trailer in the critical Banihal tunnel.

Commuters are advised to exercise patience and follow lane discipline as authorities work to clear the breakdown. Overtaking is strongly discouraged due to the single-lane traffic currently in effect within the tunnel.

The Jammu and Kashmir Traffic Police have also highlighted poor road conditions at various points between Nashri and Banihal, further contributing to the slow traffic flow.

Officials urged motorists to be cautious and avoid any actions that could exacerbate congestion on the already strained highway.
