Jammu-Kashmir highway remains closed for 3rd day
The Jammu-Srinagar National Highway remained closed for the third day on Wednesday with Meteorological office warning of avalanche along the highway in next two days, officials said.
The continuous snowfall is making the highway clearance operation by the Border Road Organisation difficult, Deputy Inspector General (Traffic) Mehmood Niyaz told the agency.
Fresh snowfall and landslides have occurred in Banihal, Panthal and Khooni areas. A record 9 feet snowfall has been reported from Jawahir tunnel, 5 feet in Patnitop, he said.
