Traffic movement on the Srinagar-Jammu highway has been restored through a temporary diversion, said Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday in a post on X.

“Despite relentless rains and a major hill slide, NHAI teams are working tirelessly to keep this key highway operational. A 2-lane temporary diversion has been built, and traffic movement has resumed. Over a dozen excavators and 50+ earthmovers are deployed round the clock for clearing and repairs”.

“We are determined to restore this vital national highway to full strength at the earliest, ensuring safety and convenience for all road users”, Gadkari added.
The highway remained shut for traffic since 26 August after landslides badly damaged the road at several places. Hundreds of apple-laden trucks and other vehicles were stranded on the highway.
