The Jammu-Srinagar highway was blocked due to the continuous shooting of stones at Panthyal, following heavy rainfall on Tuesday. The Jammu and Kashmir traffic police urged people from using the route until traffic checking units had verified that it was safe to do so. A landslide at Poshana caused the Mughal Road to be closed.
“Due to heavy rainfall on the whole NH-44 and shooting stones at Panthyal and other locations approx. 3000 vehicles both HMVs and LMVs are stranded on the NHW. Tomorrow on 22-06-2022, no fresh vehicle shall be allowed from either side i.e from Jammu towards Srinagar and vice-versa. If weather permitted only stranded vehicles will be allowed to move to their destinations subject to traffic-worthy road conditions,” In an advisory, the traffic police said.
