The traffic in south Srinagar city came to a grinding halt on Thursday due to security arrangements for Home Minister Rajnath Singh's two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir.

The roads leading to Sher-e-Kashmir Indoor Complex at Wazir Bagh here have been sealed as the home minister is scheduled to attend the Jammu and Kashmir Sports Conclave 2018 organised by the state sports council.

The vehicles are being checked by security forces at Rambagh intersection before being allowed to pass which has caused a massive traffic jam.

Rajnath Singh is being accompanied by Union Home Secretary, Rajiv Gauba, Joint Secretary Jammu and Kashmir, Gyanesh
