Jammu and Kashmir Minister Urges Review of Convoy Traffic Restrictions on NH44
Jammu and Kashmir Health Minister Sakina Itoo has raised concerns about frequent traffic disruptions caused by security convoys on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway, which affect ambulances, students, and ordinary citizens. She urged Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and security authorities to balance essential security protocols with public convenience by implementing practical traffic management measures. The convoy halts, introduced after the 2019 Pulwama attack, aim to ensure security but have led to significant civilian delays and hardships.
