The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troops on Sunday walked 12-km to provide food, water and other items to the family members of Asifa, who were stranded for hours at the NH-44 following the landslide.
The troops were led by Inspector Raghuveer of 157 Battalion.

Earlier, after being opened for a few hours, the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway was once again closed for traffic on Saturday due to a landslide in Ramban district.
The 300-km long National Highway (NH-44) remained closed for the third consecutive day today, affecting vehicular traffic.
According to Inspector General of Police (Traffic), Alok Kumar, the debris clearing operation has been hampered by stones, which keep falling intermittently. Drizzling has further made the task difficult.
