Jammu-Srinagar highway being restored for traffic

The Jammu-Srinagar highway was being restored on Monday for one-way traffic after remaining closed for the night, an official said.

"The highway was closed for traffic on Sunday night due to a landslide at Panthal in the Ramban-Ramsoo sector," the traffic department official said.

According to the official, one-way traffic will be restored later in the day as the landslide debris have been cleared.

The highway opened on Sunday afternoon to clear stranded traffic and decongest the road before the landslide occurred at Panthal.

Another landslide at the same place had shut the highway on Friday.
