Srinagar, Sept 02 :<\/strong>\u00a0Continuous heavy rainfall in Banihal and adjoining sectors on Tuesday once again disrupted movement along the Jammu\u2013Srinagar National Highway, with authorities confirming that vehicular traffic so far has been suspended for safety reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports of minor landslides and shooting stones from several stretches have heightened concerns over commuter safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic Police officials told news agency Kashmir Indepth News Service (KINS) that the highway, which was partially restored yesterday after days of closure, could not be opened today due to persistent rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our priority is the safety of travelers. With heavy rainfall, we cannot risk allowing traffic movement at this stage,” a senior traffic police officer told KINS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer further advised commuters not to travel on the route without confirming the latest status. \u201cWe urge people to avoid unnecessary travel and check official updates before starting their journey. The situation is being closely monitored, and decisions will be taken keeping public safety in mind,\u201d the officer added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the officer clarified that traffic is moving smoothly on the Mughal Road as per the advisory issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 250-km Jammu\u2013Srinagar National Highway is the only all-weather road linking Kashmir Valley with the rest of the country, and frequent closures due to rains and landslides disrupt essential supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department has predicted more spells of rain in the coming hours, keeping officials and restoration teams on high alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
