The Jammu-Srinagar national highway was reopened for traffic on Wednesday after remaining closed for a day following a landslide in Ramban district, which had left over 4,500 vehicles stranded, officials said.
The highway has been thrown open for traffic after the debris at Chanderkote was cleared, officials of the Traffic Control Room said.
They said over 4,500 vehicles were stranded at various places due to the closure of the highway.
