Frequent Landslides on Srinagar-Jammu National Highway: Are They Man-Induced Disasters?

Shooting stones and mudslides amid inclement weather blocked the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway at many places between Ramban and Banihal on Thursday midnight, said Traffic Police in an official communique.

The authorities have advised people not to travel until the weather improves even as they asked commuters to contact the concerned Traffic Control Unit (TCU) before travelling along the National Highway.

Earlier, the Traffic Police had said that Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs) shall be allowed from both sides of the Highway, however, the weather still remains the deciding factor for the only link road connecting Valley with the outside world.
