Jammu and Kashmir Heavy Rainfall


In Jammu and Kashmir, rainfall and snowfall persisted for the second consecutive day, leading to the suspension of traffic along the 270-km Jammu-Srinagar national highway. Landslides and rockfalls occurred at numerous points in Ramban district, necessitating the closure of the key roadway. Additionally, two interstate highways were shut down preventatively due to fresh snowfall in Bhaderwah's higher elevations in Doda district. The abrupt closure left scores of travelers stranded, prompting authorities to caution against travel until the highways are cleared and weather conditions improve.
