Srinagar, Aug 17 : Traffic on the Srinagar-Jammu national highway will remain suspended in view of weekly maintenance on Wednesday.
No vehicle will be allowed from Jammu or Srinagar tomorrow to allow the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to undertake weekly necessary maintenance and repair on the road, a traffic police official told UNI.
Frequent closure of the highway due to landslides and shooting stones during winters led the Union Territory (UT) administration to allow NHAI to undertake weekly maintenance on the road on every Wednesday so that the road remains open for traffic on other weekdays.
Suspension of traffic results in shortage of essentials, particularly fresh vegetables and fruits in the Kashmir valley, where people entirely depend upon imports from other parts of the country, particularly during winter.
