RAMBAN: For the second day in a row, traffic was prohibited on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway on Monday. Officials from the traffic department announced that until further orders are given, no traffic would be permitted on the Jammu-Srinagar national route, thus anybody planning to go should postpone their plans. On Saturday, the highway was stopped at 10 p.m. for repairs to damaged sections and to enlarge the carriageway in certain locations. Between Banihal and Ramban, there have been numerous landslides and stone-throwing incidents that have severely damaged the highway. In the meantime, traffic is still blocked and snow-bound on the Srinagar-Leh, Mughal Road, Sinthan-Kishtwar, Doda-Chamba, Bandipora-Gurez, and Kupwara-Tangdhar routes.
