Traffic snarls on Jammu-Srinagar Highway amid nomadic flocks & vehicle breakdowns in Ramban

Traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) is moving slowly today between Ramban and Banihal due to breakdowns of vehicles and a large movement of nomadic flocks.

Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs) were not being allowed from either side because of delays in clearing heavy vehicles (HMVs) that had broken down. Traffic authorities advised LMV drivers and passengers to be patient and cooperate with the police.
