Jammu-Srinagar Highway Restrictions Raise Concerns Over Local Commuter Hardships
PDP MLA Waheed-ur-Rehman Para and NC MLA Abdul Majid Larmi raised concerns in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly about frequent 10-15 minute stoppages on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway during security movements. They described these restrictions as causing hardship and a sense of discrimination for local commuters, urging the government to engage with security agencies and the Unified Command to ease restrictions while maintaining safety. The highway is vital for civilian and commercial traffic, and delays have affected students, patients, and travelers.
