Jammu-Srinagar national highway has been closed for vehicular traffic due to landslide on the road stretch at Shalgari Banihal, officials said on Friday.
“Jammu Srinagar NHW blocked due to landslide at Shalgari, Banihal.” J&K traffic police tweeted.
An official said that men and machinery have been put into service to clear the road at an earliest.
The highway is the lifeline of the landlocked valley and the main road link connecting Kashmir with the rest of the country.
