The advisory also highlights the closure of the Srinagar-Sonamarg-Gumri (SSG) road as reported by BEACON, the Border Roads Organisation responsible for maintaining the road.

While NH-44 appears to be recovering from the earlier mudslide, travelers should be prepared for delays due to weather conditions and the ongoing movement of nomads. They are also advised to check the latest traffic updates before embarking on their journeys.
