  • Snowfall in J&K, traffic suspended on Jammu highway

    Unseasonal rains across north and west India have led to massive crop damage. The Met department has warned that Srinagar and Jammu could see heavy snowfall and rain in the next 48 hours which could lead to traffic trouble in the area.

    An official of the traffic department told IANS that due to fresh snowfall in Banihal sector and landslide at Panthal in Ramban district of Jammu region, vehicular movement on the highway was halted Monday morning.

    "There was a landslide at Panthal near Ramban town due to heavy rainfall in the area during the night. The landslide has been cleared now, but slippery road conditions in the Banihal sector because of snowfall still exist. "We have suspended traffic on the highway for the safety of passengers. Travellers are requested to contact the control rooms at Jammu and Srinagar before undertaking the journey", the official said.
