Landslide Closes Jammu-Srinagar Highway, Amarnath Pilgrims Allowed Passage
A massive landslide on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway disrupted traffic for over 12 hours, stranding hundreds of vehicles between Udhampur and Banihal. Authorities deployed machinery to clear debris and prioritized passenger vehicles while advising commuters to avoid travel due to risks of further landslides. The Amarnath Yatra continues via the Baltal route with convoys allowed to pass under tight security. Repairs and safety inspections are ongoing, with normal traffic expected once restoration is complete.
