Landslide blocks highway traffic for several hours

Traffic remained suspended for several hours on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway due to a landslide at Maroog between Ramban and Ramsu on Tuesday morning.

Officials said the traffic was restored in the afternoon.

   

The disruption of traffic on the highway has become a daily affair due to landslides and shooting stones at various places from Nashri to Banihal.

Locals say that unplanned earth-cutting for developing the old alignment into four-lane road had made the highway prone to frequent landslides.
