Srinagar : The authorities in Jammu and Kashmir have closed several roads, including Gurez-Bandipora, Mughal, and Sinthan Top roads as a precautionary measure in view of weather forecast, officials said.
An official told news agency that the Srinagar-Jammu national highway is open for traffic, while commuters have been advised to follow lane discipline, as overtaking may cause congestion.
“Passengers are advised to travel on Jammu-Srinagar road during the day and avoid unnecessary stops between Ramban and Banihal due to the risk of landslides or shooting stones,” he said.
