The 300-km long Jammu-Srinagar national highway was closed for vehicular traffic on Tuesday following landslides at several places between Batote and Banihal.
A traffic police official said that though the highway was partially opened last evening to clear the stranded vehicles, it was completely thrown open today.

The Batote-Doda-Kishtwar road, which was also closed following landslides triggered by heavy rainfall, was also opened for vehicular traffic today.
