Traffic slow on Jammu-Srinagar highway due to road conditions, nomadic movement; commuters advised caution

Traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH44) is experiencing slow movement today, particularly between Ramban and Banihal. This is due to a combination of factors, including poor road surface conditions, sharp 90-degree curves near Tunnel T5, and the movement of nomadic flocks along the highway.

Authorities advised commuters to exercise caution and follow lane discipline as overtaking can lead to congestion.
