The highway has been shut since 26 August; however, it was briefly reopened in between for a few hours through some alternate route.
The Chief Minister chaired a high-level meeting to review the restoration works on the Jammu–Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) and other major roads damaged by recent heavy rains.
Hundreds of tourist cabs, buses, and loaded trucks were stranded at different places on the highway. Many vehicles were buried under boulders and debris.
